How fast can a wingsuit fly?

A wingsuit can achieve speeds ranging from 60 to 120 miles per hour (97 to 193 kilometers per hour) during freefall, depending on the design of the suit and the body position of the jumper. Experienced wingsuit pilots can sometimes reach even higher speeds under optimal conditions. However, the primary purpose of wingsuits is to create lift and allow for controlled gliding rather than achieving maximum speed.
