Physics

If we recreated the scene from Fast & Furious 7 anddropped a Challenger SRT® Hellcat Redeye Widebody from a C-130aircraft at 5,280 ft, how much horsepower would it take to drivepast it before it hits the ground if you’re 1 mile away?

Pro Tips
Air density @ sea level, 59 degrees, no wind = p = .002377slugs/ft^3
Coefficient of drag (flat plate, NASA) = C(d) = 1.28
Weight = W = 4451 lbs
Gravitation constant = g = 32.2 ft/sec^2
Area = A = 197.5\" long x 78.2\" wide x (1 ft^2/ 144 in^2)
Vehicle falls flat, wheels 1st, straight down, at constantacceleration with no aerodynamic drag until terminal velocity
Horsepower needed to accelerate is AVERAGE - not peak

100% driveline efficiency
