kallend 2,148 #26 October 19, 2006 Quoteso are you saying I was correct? I stated the wrong reasons but the foward "push" gives you a Minute(my-noot) increase in time, right. (probably not enough to measure with a regular stopwatch, but it still adds time. You wrote: So, again, just to generalize, From a Cessna 182 you'd have to build 40mph whereas from a Caravan (AKA Cessna 208) you only have to build 20 mph in order to hit terminal velocity. So the time it takes varies, but Dragon2 gave you a very good general answer. In which you just stated that "the time it takes varies", which is true. I can't fathom in which direction you are claiming it varies, though. The FASTER the jump plane, the LONGER it takes to reach terminal. The reason has to do with the drag force being non-linear.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No you didn't, you said the exact opposite Your words were (paraphrased) "A higher exit speed means you have to gain less speed to reach terminal." How can you argue that you meant that would take more time?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
