About
Red Bull Flugtag challenges teams of everyday people to build homemade, human-powered flying machines and pilot them off a 30-foot high deck in hopes of achieving flight! Flugtag may mean "flying day" in German, but all these crafts ultimately splash into the waters below. They are judged not only on their flight's distance, but creativity and showmanship as well. The first Red Bull Flugtag took place in Vienna, Austria, in 1991. Since then, numerous more have been held around the world, from Ireland to San Francisco, attracting up to 300,000 spectators. The record for the farthest flight to date currently stands at 195 feet set in 2000 at Flugtag Austria. Follow the madness, or if you don't mind getting wet, then join in for Red Bull Flugtag's 2010 events.

This will be the very first Red Bull Flugtag in Asia Pacific, as the flying-machine building lunacy heads to Hong Kong. Held in the last week of their summer holidays, it will take place on one of Hong Kong's most beautiful beaches, where 40 teams will compete in the fun and excitement.
