Red Bull Flugtag is where outrageous ideas meet gravity. Teams design and build homemade flying machines, then launch themselves off a ramp into the ocean in front of thousands. It’s part engineering, part theatre, and completely unpredictable.

Set against Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, Moonsport led the delivery of this global spectacle, bringing it back after a 13-year hiatus. From the first concept to the final splash, every detail was built to handle scale, complexity, and a crowd ready for chaos.

We managed all approvals, permits, and compliance, while designing the movement of spectators, vehicles, and access points across the precinct. The technical build covered structures, staging, sound, and large screens to ensure the action carried across the entire site.

At the centre of it all was the ramp. Working with engineers, we developed a cantilevered structure extending over the water, designed to meet strict safety standards while delivering maximum impact.

We also ran the live show, coordinating teams, performances, and timing, while managing vessel movements to keep the Waterfront operational.

Some flew. Most didn’t. Every second delivered.

Partnering with Red Bull to bring this bold, boundary-pushing event to life is always a privilege.
