FAI Online ShopAviation and Space World Records
Besides developing aeronautics, one of the activities of FAI is to certify and register records. Some of the first records in aviation were registered as far back as 1906 by FAI. Some of the greatest feats in aeronautics and astronautics have been put in the books of FAI. All disciplines are involved, from Spacecraft to Human-Powered flight.
