The dynamics and aerodynamics of jump motorcycles. Paper presented at the 2nd Symposium of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics on the Aerodynamics of Sports and Competition Automobiles, Los Angeles, May 11, 1974.

This paper represents the first attempt to investigate critical jump trajectory parameters; in flight stability and control forces; take off and landing ramp design problems; and jump motorcycle design limitations. Recommendations for today's jumpers are explained and advanced motorcycle design that meets the requirements for safe, super-long jumps are discussed.
