Explained: Flying Through London's Tower Bridge (World First)

In May 2024, Austrian wingsuit pilots Marco Fürst and Marco Waltenspiel executed a daring jump through London’s iconic Tower Bridge. Wearing the world’s fastest wingsuit, the duo stood on the edge of their helicopter half a mile up in the sky and simply said to each other, “let’s do it.” In this behind the scenes conversation, the two Marcos explained how they prepared for the groundbreaking project and the impact of their achievement. The human aviation pioneers also discussed their backgrounds, the evolution of wingsuit technology, and the emotional highs and lows of extreme sports.
