The Ultimate Journey: Product Design Services for the Ryder Cup Trophy
Few sport events combine an intense atmosphere, sporting drama,? excellence and a global interest in the same way as the Ryder Cup has done since 1927. The ‘Ultimate Journey’ to the opening ceremony, for which Worldwide Partner BMW, BMW Group Designworks and the team around wingsuit pilot, Peter Salzmann, (AUT) chose the skies above Wisconsin as the stage, was equally spectacular.
Equipped with a wingsuit in a Ryder Cup design, as well as a transport capsule for the trophy, specially developed by BMW Group Designworks for that purpose, Salzmann and his team jumped out of a helicopter from 10,000 feet above sea level.? The iconic gold trophy received a zero-emission chauffeur service in a BMW iX xDrive50 for the final few miles to the opening ceremony at Whistling Straits, where Salzmann brought it onto the stage.
The Trophy Case
The chief criterion when developing the trophy case was to protect the Ryder Cup during the stunt. At the same time, it had to guarantee the freedom to move for the wingsuit pilot, as well as optimal aerodynamic properties.
The challenge was to create a product that is innovative, luxurious and inspiring, and thus reflects the spirit of BMW i . A challenge tailor-made for Designworks, the innovative engine of the BMW Group, with its expertise in bringing together the needs of mobility across industries.
“Golf what a game! I have been a fan of the sport for a long time or maybe more specific the golf swing itself—such a refined movement of power and precision which in combination with the mental part makes it such a challenging task. Actually, you always evolve your golf game you don’t master it and when I think about it, it’s a bit like design itself” cited Tommy Forsgren, Lead Designer at Designworks.
“When asked to work on this project, which is connected to the historical Ryder Cup event, it was something that excited me to be part of. We just knew it had to be a product that blends the BMW i excitement for technology with the prestigious and honorable aspects surrounding the event itself.”
Design.
The trophy case weighs 5.3 kilograms and is 540 x 245 x 250 millimetres. It consists of an outer aluminium frame and a 3D printed space frame capsule with large gaps, allowing the Ryder Cup trophy to be seen, even when closed and during the flight. The case can be attached to the interior skeleton of the wingsuit just as quickly as it can to a wall – for example, for exhibition purposes. The opening mechanism is like that found on a wing door. The colour scheme of the trophy case is based on the look and feel of the BMW iX.
As well as the visual design, which reflects the status of the Ryder Cup, it was just as important, when designing the case, for it to be possible to perform the flight stunt perfectly. For this reason, the Ryder Cup trophy case was fastened to the inner skeleton of the wingsuit using a special construction. The entire system guarantees Salzmann the necessary freedom of movement and possesses the necessary aerodynamic properties. This made it possible to land safely with the trophy after the two-minute flight, despite reaching a top speed of 230 km/h.

The Ultimate Journey // THE RYDER CUP
BMW, Worldwide Partner of the Ryder Cup, delivers the Ryder Cup Trophy to the Opening Ceremony at Whistling Straits. This is no normal trophy presentation however. Wingsuit proffessional, Peter Salzmann, arrives by jumping from a helicopter 10,000 feet above the host venue.
As a last illustration of the extent to which authority and subordination were pushed in Roman society, it may be mentioned that the better class of slaves were permitted to keep slaves for their own service. But whether the institution of slavery as a whole should be reckoned among the conditions favourable to authoritative beliefs is doubtful, as it was an element common to every period of antiquity. Perhaps, however paradoxical such an assertion may seem, the very frequency of emancipation gave increased strength to the feeling of dependence on an overruling personal power. A freedman could not forget that the most important event in his life was due, not to any natural law, but to the will or the caprice of a master; and this reflection must have confirmed his faith in the divine beings of whom he and his master were fellow-slaves. 107 “He looked smack at the stewardess,” Larry added to himself. [Pg 85] He went in through the gate, and was once more upon that reservation he had been commanded by the overbearing tyrant representative of the military to leave, several weeks before. As he trudged along, tattoo went. In the clear silence, beneath the sounding-boards of the low clouds, he heard the voice of one of the sergeants. He shook his fist in the direction. Tattoo being over, some of the lights were put out, but there were still plenty to guide him. He did not want to get there too early, so he walked more slowly, and when he came to the edge of the garrison, he hesitated. The peace with Spain was also ratified in London on the 1st of March. By this, Spain, so far as diplomatic contracts could effect it, was for ever separated from France. Philip acknowledged[14] the Protestant succession, and renounced the Pretender. He confirmed the Assiento, or exclusive privilege of the English supplying the Spanish West Indies and South American colonies with slaves, one-fourth of the profit of which the queen reserved to herself—a strange proof of the small idea of the infamy of this traffic which prevailed then in England, whilst so truly benevolent a woman could calmly appropriate money so earned to her own use. Gibraltar and Minorca were also confirmed to England, on condition that the Spanish inhabitants should enjoy their own property and their religion. There was a guarantee given by Philip for the pardon and security of the Catalans. They were to be left in possession of their lives, estates, and honours, with certain exceptions, and even these were at liberty to quit the country and remove to Italy with their effects. But the Catalans, who had taken up arms for Charles of Austria at our suggestion, were greatly incensed at the dishonourable manner in which we had abandoned them and the cause, and, putting no faith in the word of Philip, they still remained in arms, and soon found themselves overrun with French troops, which deluged their country with blood, and compelled them to submit. Amid all the disgraceful circumstances which attended the peace of Utrecht, none reflected more infamy on England than its treatment of the people of Catalonia. "Bully, boys," ejaculated Shorty, as he reloaded. "You'll do. The 200th Injianny's proud o' you." "Great Jehosephat," gasped Shorty, "was that Gen. Tecumseh Sherman?" "But I haint told you half," continued the Orderly-Sergeant. "Them smarties were quick to find out that Alf Russell and Jim Humphreys leaned strongly toward religion, and they filled 'em with the idea that Cap McGillicuddy was a very devout man, and held family devotions every evening in his tent, in which his company joined." "The rest o' you chase yourselves around him," said a humorist among the cooks, while the others laughed uproariously. That was, as far as he could ever remember, the first second he had even seen it. It was there, behind his eyes, blinking on and off, like a neon sign. Sometimes he paid no attention to it, but it was always there, always telling him the same thing. It was too bad Norma didn't know that. There was a silence. "Get me some tea," he said roughly, "I'm cold." CHAPTER II. HoME性交乱淫视频
