• Ueli Gegenschatz wants to set a world record for flying off a cliff and flying the most distance and having the most hang time.
• he also wants to make a jump that has never been done before.
• he wants to make it so instead of landing with a parachute he wants to land with the wing suit, bu hes working on trying to make a landing with the wing suit.

6) How could you get involved in the field/technology/issue you chose to hear about? What experience/skills/training/education would you need to learn to get involved with this field?
i can get into the field by getting a degree in science and studying the physics of flying. i would need to be comfortable while up high in the air and you have to be a master at skydiving before going wing suit diving.
