These days- when wingsuits are not only available for skydiving but also for flying in wind tunnels -the wind tunnel has become an essential and inevitable part of learning, progress and modern wingsuit flying. If you start wingsuiting in a WS tunnel, you will feel safer and more confident at your first WS jump.
In 2022 Intrudair and Inclined Labs AB launched a new indoor and outdoor acro wingsuit joint development. Intrudair provided the physical conditions of making the wingsuits and the decades of experience in wingsuit development, while Inclined Labs gave their experience, knowledge and ideas of over 1000 hours of pure flight time in a "laboratory" environment.
It is safe to say that no one in the world has flown as much time in wingsuits anywhere in the world and no one has had the opportunity to study modern wingsuit flight as closely as the Inclined team and pilots. And now it is coupled with Intrudair's decades of wingsuit sewing experience!
The aim of the development is to jointly develop an intermediate wingsuit which you can use to start tunnel flying, develop your flying skills to the highest level, use it in the air, fly on both the belly and the back with the same performance, learn acro, freestyle and group flying. The FIN is a level 2 intermediate suit. Special attention has been paid to the wing profiles and to find perfect surface balance in order to ensure that the suit can withstand hundreds of hours of raw wind tunnel flight, a load that a normal wingsuit will never receive during normal parachute jumps.
It has a relatively thin symmetrical wing profile with a comfortably wide leg position, and an easy-to-hold arm position that does not cause a lot of shoulder strain even after hours of flight. The air intake system used on special Intrudair suits and the carefully adjusted internal pressure makes the flight smooth and the suit easy-to-handle. A special type of monochamber technology is used in the FIN so that the pressure is evenly distributed and always gives an optimum profile for flight, fills evenly and provides particularly smooth transitions.
Main features:
- developed by WS tunnel instructors for beginner and intermediate level pilots
- hybrid outdoor and indoor-friendly zip system
- symmetric wing profiles
- comfortable flying between 1.2-2.2 glade ratio both on the belly and back
- special soft grips on the armwings
- optimal surface centre of gravity
- adjustable wing pressure
Intrudair specialises in full custom-made tailoring. Whether it's a skydiving suit, a tunnel suit or a wingsuit, Intrudair always makes them fully custom made. We believe that decades of custom-made tailoring experience cannot be exchanged by a proportionately zooming software. It can help but cannot replace the working experience of skilled tailors who have a massive knowledge of different body shapes and their characteristics. Our tailors have gained experience in making over 10,000 custom made garments since we started our operations. This solid base helps to form the backbone of our wingsuit sizing.
The human body structure can vary greatly from one size to another, so our colleagues cut and sew the prototypes needed for the basic measurements very carefully, this is ESSENTIAL before we launch a product. It may slow down the release of the product a little but it guarantees that we work with accurate fitting patterns.
When you receive an Intrudair wingsuit, you can be sure that our experts have checked your measurements and tailored your wingsuit to your size according to the closest fitting pattern to you. We cannot always be 100% accurate but we guarantee that when you order a custom Intrudair wingsuit, it will be made specially for you.
The shape of the wingsuits is becoming more and more streamlined in each category- see the experiments of the early 2000s (since when we talk about modern wingsuits) or the evolution of the shape of the parachute canopy.
The secret is in the details, the different profile heights and shapes determine the main flight characteristics of the suit. The most typical glide ratio and speed in each category set the direction of development.
LEADING EDGE:
Intrudair uses a special, three-layered, slightly elastic, laminated material (developed just for this purpose) for the leading edge. It keeps its shape and adapts to the position of the arm, depending on whether you use soft foam or special performance foam.
PERFORMANCE FOAM:
We use a profile-cut foam in the new Intrudair wingsuit that does not restrict free movement but holds the outside of the leading edge firmly in place while taking up and levelling the shape of your arm inside. It is easy to replace and does not break.
The amount of air entering the air intakes determines the pressure in the wings. Although this is adjustable, Intrudair puts a lot of effort into experimenting with different sizes of air intakes.
BOOTIE:
The bootie is responsible for stability. Intrudair is the only company to use a bootie-fix system developed to fix the bootie in place. This system prevents the bootie from deforming during flight. The fixed shape provides extra stability and easy manoeuvrability, and the width of the stride can be adjusted when the bootie is opened.
At the moment we believe that the well-tuned wing profile, pressure and stabilisation give the main flight parameters of our suits, which make Intrudair suits more stable and easier to fly than their competitors.
ARTWORK:
Intrudair puts a special effort into the styling of the suits, for extra custom-designed suits we offer a graphic service that crosses the boundaries of artistic suit design!Our graphic designers can create patterns on your suit that are almost unimaginable. They match and align the graphics to the over 50 printed parts of the suit. This work is very time consuming and requires full manual work, no automatic program or pattern zooming software can do this.
For normal prints the fabric is printed in rolls and cut out, for super custom prints a "blown" image is edited onto the desired design and then proofed several times before cutting. After that, thanks to the handwork of the seamstresses, almost all the patterns fit and so there are some patterns where you will only find the air vents after a long search. These all add to the length of the process but in the end you will have a truly unique, personalised and custom-designed wingsuit.
ZERO WASTE:
We pay attention to environmentally conscious manufacturing. The leftover printed materials are used in the Zero waste project so the plastics don't end up in the trash but start a new life in an extra cool customized outfit.Why is Zero waste more expensive?
Sure, the materials are leftovers but cutting the dress nearly becomes a manual operation. Each printed part is put one by one under the laser cutter in an effort to use up all the scraps, so the extra cost of printing is invested in manual labour. We use the scraps and save nature with extra working hours.
