300 kmph BMW’s Batman Electric Powered Wingsuit

  300 kmph  BMW’s  Batman Electric Powered Wingsuit A normal wingsuit can achieve a speed of 100 kmph, but this one designed by BMW can do three times more at 300 kmph Highlights Peter Salzmann came up with the original design It can achieve speeds of up to 300 km/h Non electrified wingsuits can only attain 100 km/h  BMW is usually known for its cars and its EV technology which focusses on electric vehicles. But it has also been working on a wingsuit which is literally out of Batman. The electric wingsuit has been in the works for three years which started off as a concept by Peter Salzmann who is a Professional Wingsuitpilot / Basejumper / Skydiver / Paragliding Instructor & Tandempilot. Then it turned into a collaboration between BMW i and Designworks, which brought the electric wingsuit to life which has now been tested by Peter Salzmann.
