It doesn’t even need to be a jetliner, just something like a Red Bull Air Race plane.

Real basic, here’s how I imagine it: the motorcycle will jump over a plane flying level. Th e visual aid above is utter shite and incomplete but I hope it gets the point across.

Considering the speed at which a jetliner needs to be going to stay aloft, you really only need to go up and down. No horizontal velocity is needed.

Read the caption. Though yeah, this does seem to be possible no matter what plane you use.

But, no, no, there’s still a gap to jump over.

How fast is this motorcycle moving?

I want to see the 2 car jump. Maybe use 2 Alfa Romeo 4Cs since they are fairly short low cars?

At least 750 mph.

Howfast and in what direction relative to the motorcycle will the aircraft fly? Same horizontal direction? Opposite horizontal direction? Perpendicular?

Fighter/ interceptor jet speed? Airliner speed? Civil aviation prop plane speed?

It isn’t supposed to be a jetliner dang it. Just a prop, like the ones from Red Bull Air Race.

The plane flies level, straight in the opposite direction from the biker jump path. If the biker goes from right to left, the plane goes left to right.

And the plane doesn’t really need to be a jetliner, though if you wanna one-up the guy who jumped a P-51 mid-flight then sure, why not.

Not the same though. He jumped perpendicular to the path of the plane.

Guy back-flips then is able to shoot the target dead. Lands. Gets away with it.

Walks away from the exploding plane without looking back at it.

Seems like something the Dora Milaje can do.

You suggest in the caption (missed it earlier) a Red Bull Air Race plane. Those are claiming 425 mph top speed. I’ll assume that’s top speed in straight level flight, not diving.

I’ll also assume that the bike is based on a motocross/supercross/motard type. Seeing these are rarely do over 120 mph, I’ll say this goes maybe 150 mph on flat level ground with some modifications.

I guess a rider or pilot would need +/- 0.5 sec tolerance to arrive at the expected position, ‘on time’ during the stunt.

There will also be a bit of space needed for position. The bike might be a bit higher or lower than expected at apex. Either could be to the left or right of the intended path. et cetera

So does that leave you with enough air time to dependably pass the plane under the bike?
