✦ Synopsis

The equations of motion governing the inrun and free-flight phases of a ski-jump have been set down. These equations havebeen used as the basis for a numerical scheme from which the in-flight trajectory and jump length have been calculated. The influence of such factors as the friction between the skis and snow, the jump technique at take-off, the angle of incidence of the airborne jumper and variations in air density have been investigated. Jump lengths consistent with those measured on the 90 m Sapporo skislope have been computed. Deductions are made concerning critical aspects of ski-jump technique.
