I read this article and fail to understand why anyone would bother to go down
this road for cooling. With a tank and radiator setup with no ducting the aero
loss for cooling is 0. With the system described in the paper it is 3% at best
and if not done right it is more. Plus it is only effective at very high speeds
but never gets to a zero loss or a plus where it adds more thrust that it losses
in drag.. I sure wish everyone that thinks this is a good idea would send me 3%
of their paycheck every week so i don't have to work anymore.. LOL.. For anyone
interested I will be glad to forward bank info so it can just be direct
deposited..
