GPL long-jump world record?

Just wondering if anyone can beat 14 consecutive seconds in the air? How high would this car have gone without the track ceiling? ;) http://www.sbdev.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/longjump.zip (904 k download) (avoid if deliberate crashes are not your cup of tea)

961 metres I think (s=1/2at^2) No, duh - the time is half of 14 seconds... so 1/2x9.81x7x7 240 metres in the air...(seems about right) Doug "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%bG06.47751$[email hidden]...

Bernd Huvendiek in this replay here stays for more than 40 seconds in the air. http://www.crashmania.de/files/replay152.zip Regards Crash

Well, I get a little more than that, about 350 m, but it hardly matters :) It's hard to spot from the camera views but the car sails all the way round lesmo 2. "Douglas Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1EH06.8487$[email hidden]...
