About: Red Bull Flugtag challenges teams of everyday people to build homemade, human-powered flying machines and pilot them off a 30-foot high deck in hopes of achieving flight! With varying levels of brilliance and stupidity you can be certain of one thing, every craft that leaves the deck will end up in the water at some point. Entrants are judged not only on their flight's distance, but creativity and showmanship as well. The first Red Bull Flugtag took place in Vienna, Austria, in 1991. Since then, more than 35 Flugtags have been held around the world from Ireland to San Francisco, attracting up to 300,000 spectators. The record for the farthest flight-to-date currently stands at 195 feet set in 2000 at Flugtag Austria, and the largest crowd was at Hyde Park, London. Follow the madness, or if you don't mind getting wet, then join in for Red Bull Flugtag's 2011 events.

This spectacular event will be taking place at the Lido in Downtown Lucerne on Saturday 3rd September .
