- 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 fate

- the different is the word "Wing".....a 10% wing or a 4% wing....or a hycritical wing.... We are talking normally from aerodynamic "Body".....at the salt... See ya Pork Pie "John Burk" <joyseydevil@c

- If an object is 24 inches wide and the taper is 6 degrees per side I come up with it being a little over 114 inches long or 9.5 feet. 6 to 7 degrees is generally accepted as the optimum angle for a l
