Each Red Bull Air Force member will solo pilot an aircraft, put them into a vertical nosedive, jump out (leaving them empty) and skydive into each other's planes.
This weekend, the world will witness a never-before-attempted aerial performance involving two pilots, two planes -- and no one at the controls.
, as each will solo pilot an aircraft, put them into a vertical nosedive, jump out and skydive into each other's planes.in the U.S. beginning at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Sunday, April 24. The teammates are not strangers to death-defying stunts: Aikins, who conceptualized the"Plane Swap," performed a historic first-ever skydive without a parachute on live TV in 2016, and Farrington boasts more than 27,000 skydivers himself.
Hours of research and development will make this incredible feat possible. Aikins and Farrington partnered with Dr. Paulo Iscold, a world-renowned aeronautical engineer, to develop a special airbrake system and other modifications to keep the planes at a controlled vertical descent that closely matches the skydiver's freefalling speeds.
