The Fédération Aéronautique
Internationale (FAI), the world air sports federation, was founded in 1905.
It is a non-governmental and non-profit making international organisation
with the basic aim of furthering aeronautical and astronautical
activities worldwide. Ever growing, FAI is now an organisation of some 100
member countries. FAI activities include the establishment of rules for the
control and certification of world aeronautical and astronautical
records. FAI establishes regulations for air sporting events which are
organised by member countries throughout the world. In achieving these
goals, FAI brings together people who take part in air sports from all over
the world.
