Wingsuit history with SkyVibration
Welcome aboard!
Skyvibration is first and foremost a group of people with a passion for flying, travelling and meeting new people...
Vincent and Marine Descols, the founders, are both wingsuiters, and created Skyvibration to offer as many people as possible the possibility of jumping in a wingsuit without being skydivers. To achieve this, they have surrounded themselves with qualified professionals specialized in their field.

Vincent DESCOLS
Manager and founder of SkyVibration
Vincent will always take you flying with a smile. A former air navigation engineer with a passion for all things flying, he already had over 15 years' experience in wingsuiting and several world championship titles when he decided to develop tandem wingsuiting with his team.
Marine DESCOLS
Co-manager and co-founder of SkyVibration
Marine is your tandem wingsuit flight operator: she checks everything meticulously to make sure nothing goes wrong! When she's not behind her camera to immortalize your flight or in front of her computer to manage bookings, she's coaching people to overcome their fears through hypnosis.
Ambroise SERRANO
Tandem Wingsuit pilot, parachutist
Ambroise is the free bird who imagined and co-developed the tandem wingsuit technique with Vincent. He now has over 6,000 jumps, hundreds of base jump, speed riding and speed flying flights, and teaches skydiving in almost all existing disciplines.
SkyVibration's origins
SkyVibration is all about tandem wingsuits, but it's also a team of professionals specializing in the aerial world. We offer air shows, video and dubbing services... but we also have a research and development department in which we are exploring the possibilities of creating a motorized wingsuit. This is the E-Wings project.
E-Wings: Our Electric Human Flight Project
One of our most remarkable innovations is the E-Wings project, which aims to create the ultimate human flight experience using electric turbines combined with a wingsuit. The E-Wings system consists of two sets of Lipo 16S batteries, each with a capacity of 30,000 mAh. These batteries power four 145 mm EDF turbines, each delivering 14 kg of thrust. The entire setup is managed by four electronic speed controllers (ESC), which regulate the electrical flow between the batteries and the motors. The system is mounted on a carbon fiber support plate, utilizing sandwich technology to withstand accelerations of over 6G in all directions. This plate houses the electronics and serves as the connection between the motors and the pilot. The total weight of the motor system is 30 kg, plus 5 kg of Kevlar protective gear. The wingsuit used for the E-Wings project is a modified Aura 4, manufactured by Squirrel. It offers an excellent glide ratio and a large surface area, enabling high-performance flight despite the additional weight. The wingsuit has been customized with safety systems and technical upgrades specific to E-Wings, including an instant arm-release system that allows the pilot to free their arms despite the four turbines in front. The E-Wings system is directly connected to the parachute harness for enhanced stability.
Our Safety Commitment
Safety is a top priority for SkyVibration. Our equipment is certified and approved, and is subject to the same rigorous standards and regular checks as aviation equipment. That's why the accident rate for tandem jumps is the lowest of all thrill sports: less than 1 in 1 million jumps. In developing the Tandem Wingsuit, we chose to use the most modern equipment, both for the parachute and the wingsuit, and our flights are optimized for safety and performance.
SkyVibration: The Future of Human Flight
At SkyVibration, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the field of human flight. Driven by our dedication to innovation and safety, we continue to explore new ways to enable people to experience the purest form of flight. Our E-Wings project and Wingsuit Tandem are just the beginning. We look forward to creating new experiences and technologies that will advance the realm of human flight. Join us on a journey through the skies like you’ve never experienced before.
