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, more than 35 Flugtags 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.

When was the last time you saw a chicken fly in Kuwait? On 05.11.10, you probably will, amongst a host of many other objects that will launch themselves off a 6 metre platform at the Marina Crescent.
