Overview
Skydiving technology has advanced considerably in recent years, vastly improving the safety of those who choose to fly. Despite these advancements, the sport of skydiving is still a dangerous one with significant risks. This repository is dedicated to utilizing engineering concepts to improve the ability, awareness, and safety of skydivers.
Goals
- Reduce cost
- Reduce equipment size, weight
- Increase efficiency on the ground so more time can be spent in the sky
- Improve ground training through body flight simulations (non-tunnel)
- Advanced sensors to track detailed analytics of each jump, jumper (simulator play back)
Idea Backlog
- alitimeter
- audible
- windspeed
- load clock
- HUD with telemetry, velocity, obstacle data
- body flight simulation (aerodynamics)
- point counter
- camera
- auto parachute packer
- AAD
