Aero Revelations

["John Burk" <joyseydevil@comcast.net>]

While reading my "Theory of Wing Sections" today I found a couple of things I
didn't realize - (1) A streamlined shape that's widest in the middle has the
least drag (always thought the best was fatest at 30% with a more gradual
taper in the back) - (2) A streamlined shape that's 2 ft wide has less drag if
it's 10 ft long than if it's 20 ft long - Less surface with 16 deg. taper is
better than more area and 8 deg. taper - Anybody disagree with these things -
