Their goal is to hold hands perfectly as they head down through the air – falling at speeds in excess of 250 km/h in 80 seconds
40 of the world’s best female skydivers will be training in Abu Dhabi as they head towards a record-breaking feat.
From September 19 to 24, skydivers, champion athletes and Hollywood stuntmen, will practice their formation “core” in the world’s largest wind tunnel, Clymb Abu Dhabi, for a record attempt.
The goal was to hold their hands perfectly and safely as they swooped out of the air – with their heads down – falling at speeds in excess of 250 km/h in just 80 seconds.
With a massive 32-foot diameter, Clymb’s tunnel will allow women to perform this challenging formation over and over again — without ever jumping out of a plane.
The team’s original mission, called Project 19, aimed to create a 100-way women’s “vertical” (head down) and set a world record in 2020.
They want to perform in 2020 to celebrate the centennial of the 19th Amendment, which gives women the right to vote in the United States. But then Covid happened, so the mission was put on hold.
This year, they finally made it happen. They will meet in Arizona (USA) in November to try to break the 64-way world record set in 2016.
Their message is simple: show the world that great things can be accomplished when women come together.
