Before I launch into our ANSYS webinars and events for this week I thought I’d ask everyone, did you happen to catch the world-breaking event that happened yesterday? You might have read a story here that my co-worker wrote Breaking the Sound Barrier – Without an Airplane. Pretty amazing if you ask me. I sat mesmerized, holding my breathe, as Austrian Felix Baumgartner edged his way out of that capsule. to become the first skydiver to go faster than the speed of sound, reaching a maximum velocity of 833.9mph (1,342km/h).
Now, I have NO idea whether Felix and his team used ANSYS software to simulate anything to do with this jump, but I like to think they did. If it were you, what kind of simulation would you have done for a feat like this? I’d love to hear your thoughts in our comments section.
Now, back to the business at hand:

Hi Sandy,
to my knowledge Felix Baumgartner is from Austria, i.e. Austrian.

Thanks Atilla, You’re right! I’ve corrected the information. I think I was typing too fast.
Thanks. A.
