Coming up to 3:1.
The very cutting edge guys who make and design their own (for eg Tony Suits) are close to achieving this, at next years Red Bull World Wingsuit League all will be 3:1 suits I reckon.
2.5:1 defo at the moment with a top speed of about 120-130mph.

Cool cheers, also any ideas on the wing loading tolerances? i.e. how much extra weight can you add to a skydiver before it start affecting flight performance? i.e could you add an extra 5-15kg to a skydiver and the suit still work fine and maintain the same glide ratio?

Erm I'm not sure what you mean by that but there's different shaped suits for different jobs.
Some have a larger wingspan (flying squirrel shape) for maximum glide while others are slimmer for speed and agility (flying close to rocks and trees).
A skydiver isn't going to be regarded as over weight because you have to be of a certain physical/mental fitness to be able to do it competently. So any average weight skydiver of any height really shouldn't have a problem as the taller you get the greater the natural wingspan on the suit becomes therefore able to carry more load, I think extreme problems would come from a super tall and slim person trying it and having too much surface area for the body weight, not having enough body strength to control and getting blown all over by wind currents.
Or do you mean could you take a "package" with you and fly into places you shouldn't be with the same performance?

Lol, yeah man.
You glide 3 metres forward for every 1 metre you fall.
Jump from high enough and you can fly for miles.

Cheers mate but the first 4 BP are alreay flowering so will have to leave then in 6.5`s to save stressing em during flower but will chuck the next 4 into the 13L`s
An about the other thing...... I have some experience in aviation mechanics/engineering and a bloke I did some custom work for last year has asked me to find out about the feasibility of a certain project hes thinking of doing involving a wing suit

Court refuses trial by combat
By David Sapsted
12:01AM GMT 16 Dec 2002
A court has rejected a 60-year-old man's attempt to invoke the ancient right to trial by combat, rather than pay a £25 fine for a minor motoring offence.
Leon Humphreys remained adamant yesterday that his right to fight a champion nominated by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) was still valid under European human rights legislation. He said it would have been a "reasonable" way to settle the matter.
Magistrates sitting at Bury St Edmunds on Friday had disagreed and instead of accepting his offer to take on a clerk from Swansea with "samurai swords, Ghurka knives or heavy hammers", fined him £200 with £100 costs.
Humphreys, an unemployed mechanic, was taken to court after refusing to pay the original £25 fixed penalty for failing to notify the DVLA that his Suzuki motorcycle was off the road.
After entering a not guilty plea, he threw down his unconventional challenge. Humphreys, from Bury St Edmunds, said: "I was willing to fight a champion put up by the DVLA, but it would have been a fight to the death."
