For the first time since 2013, Red Bull’s exciting Flugtag competition returns to the DFW area! Here, visitors can either choose to defy gravity on their own flying machines or opt to spectate as a whimsical assortment of avian contraptions sail off a 22-foot-high ramp!
What is Flugtag?
Translating to “flying day” in the German language, flugtag is a Red Bull competition that the company has held for over three decades. Here, teams compete against one another to create, build, and fly their own unique machines with the goal of flying the longest distance over a body of water.
Competing teams cannot use an engine or motor on their flying machines. While distance is certainly a factor in the competition, creativity and showmanship will also be judged.
