About Aviation and Space World Records

The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) maintains the official registry of world records in aviation, aeronautics, astronautics, and space exploration. This section of the FAI website documents verified world records across categories including powered flight, ballooning, parachuting, hang gliding, model aircraft, and spaceflight achievements. Each record entry includes the achievement details, date, location, aircraft specifications, and the record holder's name, providing an authoritative and comprehensive historical archive of human achievement in flight and space.
