Fundamentals of Freefall Drift and Separation

John S. Kallend

This package contains 4 files:

Separation.ppt - a Powerpoint presentation with embedded      links to
Freefall.exe   - a Windows program for simulating freefall trajectories, and
Separation.txt - this file
45degrees-1.wmv - a movie

Unpack the zipped files into any folder of your choice.  

Freefall.exe may be run as a stand-alone program, or invoked by clicking on the links in the powerpoint presentation. When invoked from Powerpoint, the variables such as wind speeds, jump plane airspeed, etc. are set up to illustrate the particular slide.

You are encouraged to experiment with the variables such as exit order, time between exits, windspeeds, etc. to see for yourself the factors influencing separation.
