Journals regarding skydiving

Recommended Posts

So you have never skydived before and think you have an idea that will revolutionize the sport? How would you even know if it's a good or feasible idea or that it's never been thought of or tried before? Read this article then get back to me about how it's possibly relevant to your situation.

Harsh but excellent . . Hope you don't mind if I lift your lines below . . I've got at least one email per day here at work where this is the absolutely perfect response! :ph34r:

I know of NO "journals" on skydiving which would be interested in a theoretical paper about anything. Skydivers are not much interested in theoretical papers.

The two skydiving magazines that I know of work the other way around... first you do the jump, then you tell about it (with LOTS of pictures).

So... After a couple of years (& $$$$), let us know how your new technique worked out.
The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

Speak for yourself :P

I know plenty of skydiving nerds, me included. And I'd like to know what mr. Eagle has to say.

So, how about introducing your idea right here, Eagle?

I second the motion.

By trying out your idea here first, you can work out the kinks in it before you go public in a journal where you'll get ripped to shreds if there are problems with your idea. Of course, you'll also get ripped to shreds here, but better here in an internet forum, than to embarrass yourself in a professional technical journal.

This is not about skydiving as I guess, however I try to connect with them :)

Yes, I think that would be good, actually I have already done it before at one Non-English web-forum, then I added some new material to my paper and I would like to introduce it to other people.

Just think of us all here on dz.com as your peer reviewers, providing the valuable service of prompt, honest feedback.

If this idea involves some other way to get to altitude other than riding inside inexplicably ridiculous gas guzzling flying metal monstrocities, sign me up!


No. My idea is about high-altitude jump, more precisely jump/parachuting from space, from 100 km altitude (as known, according to international definition the boundary between the Earth's atmosphere and outer spacelies at this height). The height record is approximately 31,330 m and I think it is possible to increase this up to 100 km. I am not professional skydiver, Physicist and etc. but I was thinking how this would be possible to accomplish and perhaps I found the method……maybe this idea is too naïve or difficult to realize in practice or too risky. I guess many questions and note will be raised when you read it and answering them I will try to improve it :)

Go back to their web site, and click "publications". And if you bothered to look at their technical article index, you would see that your topic is very much in-line with the kind of papers they publish. Geez, do we have to do everything for you? If you have an idea to jump from space, you're going to have to do some research, and that will involve reading more than one web page. You're not impressing me...
