wingsuit
Gliding body suit
A wingsuit is a specialized jumpsuit with fabric panels between the arms and legs that create wing-like surfaces, allowing skydivers and BASE jumpers to glide horizontally through the air before deploying a parachute.
The suit transforms the human body into an airfoil, dramatically increasing flight time and enabling precise aerial maneuvering.
She flew her wingsuit through the narrow canyon at over 100 miles per hour.
