A car leaving a ramp is a projectile — this estimates the horizontal jump distance.

The math behind it

Treating the car as a point projectile, distance = v²·sin(2θ)/g. Real jumps fall short due to drag and landing height.

Worked Example

20 m/s off a 30° ramp → about 35.3 m.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this safe to rely on?

No — it's an idealised estimate; never use it for real stunts.
