Simply speaking, winged flight is divided into two types: powered winged flight and unpowered winged flight. In many film and television dramas, we can also see images of unpowered wingsuit flying. For example, in the last part of "Red Sea", the dragon commando members used wingsuit flying in the desert.

But in fact, it has returned to reality. The armed forces of various countries have not included wingsuit flying in normal training, and there is no corresponding actual combat application. Z2z must know that for any country in the world, pilots are a hundred times more precious than aircraft. For the Air Force, the 5% mortality rate is already a very high figure, so how can it use a winged flight with a 30% mortality rate? No matter which country they are in, would rather spend more money and more time to research more secure and safe flight methods than let precious pilots take risks.

Secondly, there is a very obvious defect in winged flight: it cannot carry too much equipment. In the event of a war in , no matter which arms it is, it must be put into battle as soon as possible. If the Air Force uses wing suits to fly to a designated location, but does not carry enough equipment, then this is a thousand miles away. If you carry enough equipment, the mortality rate of flying will increase. Regardless of the calculation, flying with wings is not cost-effective. The last point of

is the cost issue. The training cost of wing-mounted flight is very high. Basically, a random set of equipment requires hundreds of thousands, and a slightly better price is as high as one million. Such a cost is tantamount to an astronomical figure for a large army of soldiers. Combining various reasons, naturally, no country or military will choose to fly with wings that are not cost-effective.
