Longest wingsuit flight time in performance competition

What to remember

112.0 seconds, or 1 min 52.0 s: that is how long Alexey Galda kept flying in a wingsuit on 17 August 2025, in performance competition.

Performance flying is one of the two international wingsuit disciplines recognised by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), alongside team acrobatic flying. Its records cover three tasks: time, horizontal distance and horizontal speed. The trick is to stretch the fall for as long as possible, using the suit's fabric wings to cut vertical speed.

Galda also set the horizontal distance record, 5.572 km (3.462 mi), on 25 August 2023. The third mark, for speed, went to Chris Geiler, clocked at 326.8 km/h (203.1 mph) on 26 October 2021.
