Basejumper.com - archive

I am looking for wing engineering info about sky diving/base jumping. I need technical terms. This could also include info about suits, such as the birdman. I need to know the effects of wind. I'm a grad student doing a project in a wind engineering class, and I have only made two sky dives. My boyfriend is a sky diver and base jumper and told me to check out this site. Any help would be great.

Do you have specific questions? It's a bit difficult to just start a dissertation on terms.

Have you looked over the Birdman web site?

Hey Tom-
T-bone told me that you would probably reply. I'm his girl. I looked over the birdman website, but I need more technical info. I also saw the post on the PC drag table. That's the kind of stuff I'm interested in.

Try this site, and check out the aerodynamics section for some hands on experience and technical terms that you search for.http://www.paperplane.org/
take care and have fun,

Contact Bill Coe at PD. He's one technical muthuh!
