The future of Wingsuits, or just an interesting side-discipline? More "wing", less "suit"?
What do you think?

Wow, what a setup. I think this might at some place find it's place in base jumping, don't know anything about the financial side of this though, but probably rather not for skydiving. Those wings are simply to big to be jumped from most planes.

These wings are designed to be jumped from a Porter. Sure you can't fit 8 people anymore, but I recall being 5 in the Porter with Yves and the white wing.
It is a tight fit, but still... Better in a Twotter, best in a Skyvan

Ah ok, thx for that information. Are there any issues with the tailwing, i mean those wings can't be collapsed like wingsuit-wings.

none till now, but the exit is a "long" and well thought process. You don't just get to the door and jump out
