This terminal velocity reference table shows the terminal velocity for a range of mass values, assuming a gravity of 9.81 m/s², an air density of 1.225 kg/m³ and a cross-section area of 0.7 m². Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Terminal Velocity Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

How to use this table
Find the row closest to your mass and read across to the terminal velocity. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Terminal Velocity Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Terminal Velocity Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
