What are skydivers modifications to increase drag?

Skydivers can modify their body position to increase drag by spreading their arms and legs in a "flat" position, which creates more surface area and slows down their descent. They can also wear a jumpsuit with extra fabric or grippers on the arms and legs to further increase drag. Additionally, adding a drogue chute or deploying a larger main parachute can help increase drag and control their descent speed.


What does skydivers do to increase drag?

Skydivers can increase drag by adjusting their body position to create more surface area exposed to the air, such as by spreading their arms and legs wide. They can also wear specialized jumpsuits that have extra fabric or wingsuits that create more drag as they fall. Additionally, deploying a parachute increases drag significantly, slowing down the descent and allowing for a safer landing.


How do speed skydivers go faster?

I have never done speed skydiving, but from my experience you gain speed by reducing drag on your body. So, by wearing smoother clothing (or very tight suits) and maneuvering the body into a position so that your body surface is the smallest (head down) you have less drag, thus to greatest opportunity to gain speed. Wearing weights also helps to overcome the drag, but I doubt if this will be allowed in speed competitions.
