Significant contributors to broader angled flight, including Atmonauti include Ippo Fabbi, Olav Zipser, Marco Tiezzi, Gigiola Borgonis and the Babylon Freefly School.Fact|date=July 2008
Debate is ongoing in terms of whom has had the greatest contribution to angled flight theory.Fact|date=July 2008 However, much of the Atmonauti community credits JP Furnari for discovering Relative Gravitational Wind, which is what makes Atmonauti much safer than any other skydiving discipline.Fact|date=July 2008
Logically as a subset of freeflight, Olav Zipser could be considered the founder.Fact|date=July 2008 During the late 90's Marco Tiezzi attracted significant publicity in the use of angled flight in freestyle competition and load organizing in
Lapalisse ,France . Babylon Freeflight School and Ippo Fabbi have been extremely active in the development and diffusion of angled flight coaching and load organizing.Fact|date=July 2008External links
