The 'Flying Pub' at the 2003 Flugtag, Hyde Park, London

This article is about the competitive event. For the airshow disaster, see Flugtag '88.

A Flugtag (German: flight day, airshow) is an event in which competitors attempt to fly in homemade flying machines. The flying machines are usually launched off a pier about 30 ft high into the sea (or suitably sized reservoir of water). Most competitors enter for the entertainment value, and the flying machines rarely fly at all. The first Flugtag took place in Austria in 1991, and the activity has recently gained much popularity as a result of Red Bull sponsored events in London, Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, New York City, San Francisco, Miami, Antwerp, Berlin, Johannesburg, New Zealand, Stockholm, Israel, Lausanne, Lucerne, Dubrovnik, Hungary, Vancouver and others. The first Red Bull Flugtag event in the United Arab Emirates took place on Friday, November 25, 2005 at Dubai Creek Park. A total of 36 teams were selected to take off.
