Howdy, running those numbers through the program at
http://www.bgsoflex.com/auto.html
comes up with the following : ( do they match any known HP numbers for the
liner?)
Air Density Computed is 0.00228 (my assumption for this number is 29.4 inches)
Aerodynamic "Drag Factor" is 0.00090
Rolling "Drag Factor" is 286.76639
Computed Aerodynamic Horsepower Required is 80
Computed Rolling Horsepower Required is 246
Computed Frontal Lift Force is 73 Lbs.
