There&#8217;s a saying in aviation, &#8216;If it looks good it flies good.&#8217; We&#8217;ll see if that applies on Flugtag day.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up to 40 teams will be judged on the design of their <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/flying-kites-on-world-mental-health-day-raises-awareness-in-heideveld-cape-town-20231017\/\">flying<\/a> craft, the creativity of their pre-flight skit and the distance of their flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winners will take home exclusive Red Bull experiences, meet-and-greets with Red Bull athletes, and more. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judging panel will be made up of local personalities and aviation experts.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Globally, Red Bull Flugtag has thrilled fans in over 50 countries, with more than 9 million spectators watching gravity-defying attempts to fly.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Greased Lightning (Portland, 2008) to Flight at the Roxbury (Pittsburgh, 2017) and 2023 champions Flite Test (Cincinnati), the event has become a cult favourite. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world record for the longest Flugtag flight is whopping 78,6 m set by The Chicken Whisperers in Long Beach, California in 2013.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you participate in the flight, experience a mishap or simply want to observe the excitement, this year&#8217;s event will be a memorable experience.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competing teams from South Africa will be announced later as will the panel of judges and even more surprises.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enter the Red Bull Flugtag, or know more, visit <a
