Atmonauti

Atmonauti is a revolutionary new skydiving technique that permit to human been to fly (create “lift”) without any accessory (body free). Invented by Marco Tiezzi in 1998, developed and perfected with Gigliola Borgnis, it was presented for the first time in 2000 at the World Freestyle Competitions, the European Espace Boogie, and the Eloy Freefly Festival. In 2002 Atmonauti became a reality, known and practiced all over the world, also entered into the compulsory of FAI skydiving competitions of free style and freeflying.
The technique consists in a body position similar to a "wing" with a determinate relation between angle and trajectory speed , to obtain an air stream that permits lift and a precise control of flight. The aim is to fly in formation at the same level speeds and angles, and to be able to perform different aerial games, such as free style, three-dimensional flight formation with grip, or acrobatic freeflying maneuver (see the "guinnes" page in www.atmonauti.com).
All this is not executed in the normal vertical trajectory of the gravity force. The atmonaut creates his own diagonal trajectories, and thanks to this technique, he regulates with extreme precision all the parameters, such as the angle (trim), speed, and direction, becoming a real "flight pilot" of his own body.
The term "Atmonauti" ("atmonauts" in English), coined by Marco Tiezzi, is defined as: Atmosphere Navigators (like "astronauts", that mean astrospace nautsnavigators), the ideal definition of this new human possibilities.
Revolutionizing the concept of skydiving, where all the different disciplines are performed in the vertical fall (the trajectory of the gravity force), Atmonauti is a new discipline that occurs during a real "flight" : there is a considerable horizontal displacement, and above all longer flight time. In fact, the Atmonauti fly permits the jumper to remain in the air for a 50% longer time in respect to skydiving “freeflying” , confirming a real "human fly performance".
From 2000 to now the thecnique Atmonauti have permit a lot of World Records , new games and possibilities , influenced also other skydiving disciplines as freeflying , wing suit , base jump that use more and more the human fly technique Atmonauti .
