    The document discusses the aerodynamic properties of wingsuits, including glide ratios, stall speeds, forward flying speeds, falling speeds, lift and drag coefficients, and wing areas for different body weights. A respondent provides feedback that estimates for some values may be higher than suggested and notes variation between beginner, intermediate, and advanced suits as well as differences in performance between brands.

    I am about to get a Wingsuit and am interested, apart from other


    things, in the aerodynamics.

    >>> Another bird in the flock. Super! For now, just learn how to fly
    safely. Before long you will have your own opinion of aerodynamics.

    From my searching I have found some info and am putting my


    sometimes guesses below. There must be some variation, too
    depending on whether a suit is beginner, Intermediate or advanced.

    >>> Yes, there is a lot of difference between them. The more


    material, the slower you can fall.

    Thought others might be interested to have a thread on this.

    >>> Not really. It always devolves into brand wars and insults.

    Glide possible: 2:5:1 (TonySuits 3:0:1)

    >>> Especially when statements like this come up. In fact, there is
    not much difference in the two performance wise. Both are great
    companies

    Stall speed: 40 Kph?

    >>> I'd guess that would be higher, but if you fold up and fly good
    you can get pretty slow without stalling. Yes folding up and flying
    good is an oxymoron. Hahaha.

    Forward common flying speed range? 50 - 120Kph?


    Forward flying speed cruise(medium body position): 60 Kph?
    Forward flying speed max(best body position): 140Kph?

    >>> I'd say higher on that too. Again guessing, I'd say top speed
    closer to 200k. After a dive you can swoop out of it and be going
    really fast, 300k or more.

    Falling speed range: 40 - 80kph?

    >>> That's probably higher too. My best average rate is 75kph but
    I'm not that good. Anything below 60 is damn good.

    Lift Coefficient: 1.4

    1
    Drag Coefficient: ?

    Wing area: 12 - 17 Sqft for 150 - 170 lb naked body weight?


    Wing area: 18 - 120 Sqft for 180 - 200 lb naked body weight?

    Other: ?
