Project Icarus

The ACE Climatic Wind Tunnel brought together physiology and aerodynamics experts from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology to help Angelo Grubisic break a wingsuit world record. This record will see Angelo jump from 40,000ft with a flight time of over 10 minutes and a top speed exceeding 250mph. Research took place in the climatic wind tunnel and included tests using a newly designed free flight fixture and tests with wind chill temperatures dropping below -100°C. This is a rare glimpse into the high-tech research that occurs at ACE.
