Take Off

Take off!!

Once lined up the pilot will throttle up the engine, release the brakes and you’re off! The propellor biting into the air, the tips travelling faster than the speed of sound, your friends and family will hear the bark of the propellor as you accelerate across the grass. Your adrenaline levels will go off the scale as the aircraft quickly gathers speed on it’s take off run, just a few seconds later you will feel the wheels leave the ground.

Feel the tremendous sense of freedom as you fly through the air, take in the unbelievably stunning views surrounding our private airfield, whilst waving to friends and family on the ground below.

Adventurous

For the more adventurous…

After a few passes for friends and family, the aircraft can climb higher, up to 600ft. Height is potential energy, the higher you go the more the aircraft can do. Here are the exhilarating manoeuvres we can perform, these moves are designed to give you a taster of what aerobatics is like. If you enjoy flying on the wing whilst doing such manoeuvres then you really must consider a full on aerobatic wingwalking experience for your next flight.

The Bumps

The Bumps – Dips & Dives

Let’s start with ‘the bumps’, effectively it is straight line flight, it doesn’t involve any turning. This can be a gentle manoeuvre or it can a little more extreme. The pilot will push the nose down, you will be momentarily weightless, the aircraft will quickly accelerate, reaching speeds of up to 140mph. It’s fast!, the pilot eases the stick back, G comes on, for some it’s a new experience, feeling the various different forces acting on your body. The nose rises and the aircraft is climbing steeply, it’s slowing down, in seconds you are 2/3rds as high as the Shard. At the apex, the pilot pushes forwards on the stick, ‘bunting’ the aircraft forward and down, at this point you are totally weightless, your feet will feel very light on the wing, almost coming off but you’re strapped in so securely that you’re not going anywhere except downwards, towards the earth. Speed rapidly builds, the aircraft easily accelerating downhill before the pilot eases the plane back into a climb to repeat the move.

The Steep Turns

The pilot will combine ‘bumps’ with a steep turn, using up to 90 degrees of roll. As the aircraft heads skywards the pilot will apply roll in the required direction and the aircraft will turn through an angle of between 90 and 180 degrees, the nose dropping and regaining speed as it does so.

End

All good things come to an end

With your blood pumping and senses on overload, you’ll be landing and returning to your spectators, full of adrenaline and a massive sense of achievement.

Congratulations!
You will have joined a very exclusive group of fliers who have actually travelled on the outside of an aircraft.

Are you ready to take up this new exciting experience?

Whilst you and your partner take to the skies on the wings of the biplane, a spectacular viewing experience is created for those watching from the ground. The sight of two brave individuals fearlessly manoeuvring will captivate your guests – an experience that will be long-remembered by all involved.

Wingseating is unique to AeroSuperBatics and is an activity that few people have had the chance to experience, let alone with a partner simultaneously on the same plane.
