Yea but a Peregrine Falcon dives faster than the theoretical maximum impact velocity, its such a well designed bird it can achieve flight physics we still cannot.
@sergeig6857 жыл бұрын
What the hell is a "theoretical maximum impact velocity"???
@turboshaft19596 жыл бұрын
Sergei Gridnev hes probably talking about terminal velocity. The terminal velocity is the falling velocity at wich the gravitational acceleration equals the deceleration due to air resistance. So its the fastest possible free fall speed in air. It is different for every object, and the falcons terminal velocity is obviously higher than the humans.

Skydiving is a lot more than knowing what to pull and when to pull it, every movement does something and it’s a long process to learn how to be stable in free fall without spinning out of control. Most people think it’s as simple as falling but as a skydiver I can say that’s far from the truth, everything from being stable in free fall to learning how to use the parachute correctly takes lots of training and plenty of hours nothing you could learn in a single day, to be licensed to skydive you’ve got to have 25 jumps and go through an extensive training program that takes usually months of training.

In terms of power:weight and complexity, the bird will win for a very long time to come.
