Re: Tear drop (score: 1): Author: <wmtsmith@landracing.com>; Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 22:08:07 -0500; Jon, I read that a teardrop needs a 4 times length to width to be effective--I am trying to use a 6 to one. Now the question I don't know--do you figure 1/2 the width and that is the relationship for; /html/land-speed/2003-01/msg00071.html (8,938 bytes)

Re: Tear drop (score: 1): Author: W S Potter <wester6935@attbi.com>; Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 20:42:23 -0800; What about the idea that a 6 degree curve creates the least problems with air separation? If that holds true, the length of the tail from the widest part on the body needs to follow a 6 degree (or lo; /html/land-speed/2003-01/msg00075.html (9,925 bytes)

To get a very rough idea, I would scale down the fuselage (no wings or horizontal tail plane) of a Boeing 777.

Granted, a true teardrop might be the best shape, but if it has to be eight feet wide by thirty six feet long, but the th; /html/land-speed/2003-01/msg00092.html (8,535 bytes)

Being a nostalgia freak, if I ever built a streamliner, it would have to look like that. I'd sacrefice absolute top speed just to enjoy the beauty of the car.

Re: Tear drop (score: 1): Author: ardunbill@webtv.net; Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2003 10:53:46 -0500 (EST); Bryan, this is very logical thinking, but Jack's liners have given tremendous speed with modest powers, with slim pointed front ends, not teardrops.

9. Re: Tear drop (score: 1): Author: pork.pie@t-online.de (Pork Pie); Date: 04 Jan 2003 20:45 GMT; Jack's liner is a good combination of aerodynamic and downforce. When you use a teardrop you create a good aerodynamic shape but also a lift up body, in other words, you loose the downforce which you; /html/land-speed/2003-01/msg00113.html (9,762 bytes)

CD and frontal area are multipliers, this I believe, is where Jack has a large advantage. If a change to the body reduced his CD by .01 and the change increased the frontal area by j; /html/land-speed/2003-01/msg00121.html (8,713 bytes)

13. Re: Tear drop (score: 1): Author: pork.pie@t-online.de (Pork Pie); Date: 04 Jan 2003 21:12 GMT; Wes, this was very good joke - I'm the aerodynamic guru behind the McBride/Moreau liner. But we followed not the teardrop/6 degrees rule. The rear end is a little bit more than 6 degrees, the simple; /html/land-speed/2003-01/msg00125.html (9,248 bytes)
