How It Works

Calculate terminal velocity for skydiving based on body mass, suit type, body position, and altitude. Estimate time to reach terminal and opening altitude requirements

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Body mass — The body mass recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Suit type — The suit type recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Body position — The body position recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Altitude — The altitude recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the skydiving terminal velocity result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the body mass, suit type, body position, altitude for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate terminal velocity for skydiving based on body mass, suit type, body position, and altitude. Estimate time to reach terminal and opening altitude requirements. Use the skydiving terminal velocity result to inform your calculation.
