Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner broke three world records when he made his leap seen around the world in October, the World Air Sports Federation confirmed on Friday.
The Swiss-based federation, also known as the FAI, said Baumgartner notched up the world's maximum vertical speed record, as well as the highest exit altitude and vertical distance of freefall.
The FAI confirmed a final analysis by Baumgartner's team Red Bull Stratos, which said that the 43-year-old reached 1357.6 kilometres an hour, or Mach 1.25, in freefall.
Baumgartner's jump took place on 14 October in Roswell in the US state of New Mexico.
He was first carried up in a pressurised capsule attached to a helium balloon to an altitude of 38 969.4 metres.
Wearing a specially-designed survival suit, he launched himself to Earth, freefalling 36 402.6 metres before opening his parachute.
"By breaking these world records, Felix adds his names to the list of FAI world record holders which includes prestigious air sport personalities such as Charles Lindbergh, Yuri Gagarin and, more recently, Bertrand Piccard and Steve Fossett," the federation underlined.
