CONCLUSION

From the observations it has been proved that a 1985 Honda Accord can jump off a ramp. The minimum speed for a Honda Accord to completely leave the ground is 95 mph on a 1 degree ramp. The car was also tested at a 116 mph and flew 10 meters in the air before landing. Also, when the ramp was increased to 2 degrees, the car only has to go 70 mph to clear the ramp.
