cvfd1399 0 #1 October 30, 2004 What kind of times has anyone gotten on a 30,000+ jump. Did you wear the bail out bottle under your suit some how, or went without? Anyone got pics doing this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leroydb 0 #2 October 30, 2004 only 2nd hand info but i heard someone got 4-5 min... but that person has tons and tons of BM jumps.....Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 1 #3 October 30, 2004 I would imagine people can do 4-5 min from 23k feet...www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leroydb 0 #4 October 30, 2004 yup... but as you go higher of course the air is thinner and the longer you are up there the more stamina you will need or esle you will be flying dirty on the bottom end...Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

verticalflyer 11 #5 October 30, 2004 You will also be dealing with -40-50C temps, some decent navigation, maintaining awareness for hypoxia and very tired arms. Uncle Charlie made one and did over 4 mins I think, but he should he's a good flyer a skinny b*gger like me :)Dont just talk about it, Do it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbla4024 0 #6 October 31, 2004 I heard unclecharlie109 made 4 min 25 sec this summer in Klatovy from 9100 m. There is article: http://www.anect.com/fly Fido Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aikalex 0 #9 November 1, 2004 I have made about 10 jumps from 30000+ from a with my wingsuit and lots more without… When I jump with the wingsuit I use a 1 liter bottle with air for 20 min. I mount my bottle right under my boc with a pice of string and the hose goes inside my suit up to my mask. It is no problem to have the bottle under the boc because when you deploy you get the space for the bottle between your back and empty container. Ok it is cold up there but I don’t use more cloth than a 13500 jump. The time it is really cold is just for 1 minute and then it’s get warmer. We used 5 logtracks but they have never worked so I don’t know the real time butt people on the ground says around 6 min. When we are jumping from 30+ we have to pre breath for 2 hours otherwise the risk for bends is high. Many people can’t go up to 30000 with oxygen so it’s I good idea to talk with a doctor before. If you have a small hole in your teeth you can be in big problems because when the air expands the air get caught and on 30000 feet it will be so much pressure that your teeth can just explode and you will probably faint from the pain. I was in a test chamber before my first jump just to test how my body would react, and I had to take of my mask off on 26500 feet and you could see how fast you lost control over your body.

robibird 3 #10 November 1, 2004 hello, W-suit free fall rate... After some very basic calculations in this table you can see how wingsuit free fall rate increases with altitude. Calculations were based on following data: · Air pressure at altitude (from the table) · Air density at altitude (calculated) · Free fall rate at 1000 meters (measured) · Total weight (100 kg) As you can see, at 12000 meters calculation gave free fall rate of approx. 40 m/s. Because I didn’t have exact data on air pressure on different altitudes, these results could vary up to 25%, particularly on higher altitudes. So, if you jump from 35000 ft my estimate is that you can expect free fall time anywhere between 350-400 seconds (6-7 minutes). But of course as you know, that also largely depends on your body position, flying skills, total weight and atmospheric conditions (pressure, temperature, humidity, etc). altitude (m) free fall rate (m/s) 0 ..........................20 1500 ..........................21,2 3000 ..........................23 4500 ..........................25 6000 ..........................27 7500 ..........................29,5 9000 ..........................32 10500 ..........................35,5 12000 ..........................40 regardsRobert Pecnik robert@phoenix-fly.com www.phoenix-fly.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
