Nissan: Learning to fly

Embed this cinemagraph on your website

 

Nashville, Tenn. — Hard to believe, but Red Bull Flugtag Nashville is almost upon us, taking place September 23 at Riverfront Park, right along the banks of the Cumberland River. Most significant to us, a team from Nissan, led by Smyrna engineers, has been busy prepping an entry for this zany gliding (falling with style?) competition. We hope the smattering of social posts below will provide you with an appreciation for just how hard the Nissan Take on Flight team has been working to create its entry for Flugtag Nashville, and just how much fun the folks have been having as they conceived, developed and tested their entry. Check back, as we will be adding updates. See you there!

 

The team’s field trip activity over the weekend. Check them out on Sept 23 in Nashville for the #RedBullFlugtag! #TakeOnFlight #HangGliding
