Red Bull Flugtag challenges the brave and brainy to design, build and pilot home-made flying machines off a 30-foot high flight deck in hopes of soaring into the wild blue yonder...or more often, plunging into the waters below. Flugtag, which means "flying day" in German, pushes the envelope of human-powered flight, but competitors need more than airtime to reach the podium. Teams are judged on three criteria: flight distance, creativity of the craft, and showmanship.
Teams competing included: Air-Row-Plane, Air to the Throne, A Right Royal Wedding, Chitty Chitty Bling Bling, Come on Kes!, Doc Browns De Lorean, Fallen Angel, Magnificant Machine of Magnificant Men, Mowgli's Jungle Glider, ProDuck Flight Team, Stairway to Heaven, StevenSeagull, Super Monkey Flying Banana, The Big Blue Moose, The Kanabal Kapers, To Infinity and the Pond, Team Weasel, Yorkshire Spitfire
