travisjones 0 #27 January 7, 2008 No joke. I'm really going to strap some of these to my ankles and jump off something really tall. I don't have to sell drugs to get them. One of my rich friends is going to buy them for me. I like speed its good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travisjones 0 #28 January 7, 2008 This is going to be sweet. Kinda like Willie Coyote trying to get the road runner. Hope i have better engineering skills than acme. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is to start them above around 9000ft ASLscissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also don't do it out of an airplane to keep it out of the statistics page for skydiving if something goes not quite as planned... But with all the engineering and planning your putting into this, by your posts, what could go wrong.... Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

yuri_base 1 #36 January 15, 2008 Quotewith a wingsuit, 2 P-60's would do the trick I don't know what you meant by "trick", but if it's level flight, 26lbs of thrust (P-60 has 13lbs of thrust) is not enough. For level flight, you need thrust be equal to drag. If your exit weight with engines and fuel is 200lbs, your lift must be equal to 200lbs for sustained level flight, and if your best L/D in a given suit is 2.0, that implies that the drag is D = L/(L/D) = 200lbs/2.0 = 100lbs. That's more like 2 P-180's or P-200's (45lbs of thrust each). With L/D = 2.5, you need 80lbs of thrust, 3.0 - 67. High L/D is crucial to achieve level flight with limited thrust.Android+Wear/iOS/Windows apps: L/D Vario, Smart Altimeter, Rockdrop Pro, Wingsuit FAP iOS only: L/D Magic Windows only: WS Studio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
