The ritual
Three inputs. One long look down.
FEET FLY keeps the controls small so the descent can stay large.
02
Set the altitude
Enter feet or kilometres, then start from a familiar preset — 1 km, 10,000 ft, or Everest.
03
Watch it unfold
Altitude, speed, atmosphere, and camera perspective move together until touchdown.
The map is the stage
A place you recognize makes the distance feel real.
The scene uses Apple satellite imagery and available 3D elevation as context. The camera begins overhead, then eases toward the ground as the simulated altitude falls.
- +Choose a city, address, landmark, or map point.
- +Keep the map and the physics on the same altitude.
- +Expect imagery and 3D detail to vary by place.

Under the hood
A simplified atmosphere, made visible.
The model is intentionally legible: enough structure to make the journey interesting, never a claim of prediction.
Gravity
9.80665 m/s²
A constant Earth-gravity baseline keeps the motion easy to follow.
Air
e−h/H
Pressure and density follow illustrative exponential curves as altitude changes.
Drag
v2
Air resistance grows with velocity squared and opposes the descent.
EDUCATIONAL SIMULATION
FEET FLY does not model a person, equipment, terrain, weather, or safe procedures. Its imagery is atmospheric context, not real-world guidance.
