Hi Folks, To this book which starts so much discussion. We talked about in Vaihingen at the University wind tunnel - the result was, that we couldn't agree to a lot of points and views in this book -

Yeah, some of that sounded kind of questionable to me too. Letting air under the car REDUCES drag? If true, I'd be real surprised. Dale C. Hi Folks, To this book which starts so much discussion. We t

In somewhat of a defense to John Burk's Quote from the Aerodynamics book, I see at least some merit in the statement "A shape that had a CD of . 25 and 4" ground clearance would have a . 26 CD if it

I can see it being detrimental to stability, but would think that would be true(to some degree) concerning drag. Warner Riley thought along those lines for his bike if I'm not mistaken, and his speed

It seem intuitive that (assuming you have a smooth surface underneath), the air would rather go under than be pushed around the sides or over the top (as this is bound to cause higher pressure at the
