Wings suits have a glide ratio of around 3:1, 3 units moved horizontally for every 1 unit vertical, and a top speed in the neighborhood of 100 mph. With a straight vertical lashing, that would then double the glide ratio to 6:1 as you would glide on the way up as well as the way down. This would allow windrunners/skybreakers to travel the same distances with 1/6 the stormlight cost and still be faster than Bridge 4 (the ship) which has a cannonical speed around 70ish knots (80 mph) as stated in Wind and Truth
