Hi again,
As you may, or may not know, Tarqs no longer has access to News, Notes or
whatever it is you like to call it. This is a problem :-( as I'd like to do
some research into high-altitude skydiving. Which is where y'all can help.
I'd be grateful if one of you could post a request for data on my behalf,
include my Email address if that might help or forward any replies/articles.
What sort of data? Any or all of the following ...
(I already have a copy of USPA SIM)
1) Old articles about HA dives, in News/Notes or old issues of Parachutist
and Sport Parachutist magazines.
2) Records held, history and chronology of HA development.
3) Physiological considerations.
4) Where can you go to do one in the US or UK? What preparations are needed?
Most important ...
5) Mathematical models (simple or complex) relating to the passage of a
skydiver through the air, including the effect of winds aloft. (Note that
models should be 'maths' not computer code. I once posted a request on the
net about sunrise/sunset times and got a C listing that wasn't much use.)
Tarqs [the favour-requesting-(again!)]
