Jump Height from Flight Time
Estimate vertical rise from a measured flight interval.
Your numbers
Estimated centre-of-mass rise
Assumes takeoff and landing centre-of-mass heights are equal, symmetric flight and no air resistance. Landing posture can bias this estimate.

Formula
h=gt²/8
Estimate vertical rise from a measured flight interval.
Worked example
- Flight time (seconds)
- 0.5
- Local gravity (m/s²)
- 9.80665
- Estimated centre-of-mass rise
- 30.6458 cm
Scope and limitations
Assumes takeoff and landing centre-of-mass heights are equal, symmetric flight and no air resistance. Landing posture can bias this estimate.
Inputs are checked for missing values and allowed ranges. A result outside the finite numeric range is not displayed. Rounding affects display, while the calculation uses the model’s numeric precision.
Check your units and assumptions before relying on a result. Changing a label does not convert a currency or physical unit.
