Sebastián Álvarez`s record-breaking wingsuit jump redefines the sport, setting new standards in speed, distance, and time aloft.

Sebastián Álvarez has etched his name into the annals of wingsuit flying history with a breathtaking jump that redefined the sport. Launching from a staggering altitude of 41,470 feet, Álvarez reached an astonishing top speed of 550 km/h, shattering the previous record of 397 km/h. This monumental leap not only showcased his unparalleled skill but also set new benchmarks for horizontal distance and time aloft, soaring 53.45 km and remaining airborne for 11 minutes and 1 second.

This remarkable feat was the culmination of meticulous engineering, utilizing cutting-edge aerospace technology, rigorous altitude training, and specialized gear designed to withstand the extreme conditions of high-altitude flight. Álvarez`s achievement is not merely a record-breaking moment; it is a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of excellence in wingsuit flying.

While the USPA (United States Parachute Association) previously recorded a greatest distance of 12.21 km in 2024, Álvarez`s recent accomplishments have obliterated these figures, marking a new era in the sport. The wingsuit community and fans alike are left in awe, as this leap represents the pinnacle of what is possible in the skies.
