The average male athlete has a 28 inch max vertical leap. The longest length of time a person can be in the air is about 1 second. Michael Jordan spent about 0.9 seconds in the air during his most famous free throw line dunk (about 40 inches vertical during that dunk). Therefore, the average max standing jump is about 0.53 seconds. This varies very greatly depending on vertical leap.
For example, there is a dunker on Team Flight Brothers by the name of T-Dub who has something like a 53 inch maximum vertical, so he could probably "hang" more than a second in the air. Keep in mind that hangtime is only a term to describe the time a human spends off the ground. Every object follows a parabolic path while it is in the air, and therefore, no one (not even Michael or T-Dub) can actually "hang" in the air.

Who holds the men's world record in the standing jump?
Both the standing jump (straight vertical) and standing long jump have not been Olympic events since 1912, when they were discontinued. Ray Ewry held all the standing jump records, with his standing long jump record of 3.47 meters being most impressive until the sport was discontinued at the world level in 1938. There are rumours of 3.6 having been accomplished since, but since it is no longer a world class sport, they are difficult to verify.
