2. Re: Center of Pressure and Gravity (score: 1): Author: "Vaughn Rockney" <vintagegarage@erols.com>; Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 09:11:09 -0400; The way I learned this in Physics class is that for stability of flight, the center of gravity needs to be ahead of the center of moment, and the further it is, the more stable the flight. The center; /html/land-speed/1999-06/msg00107.html (10,971 bytes)
3. Re: Center of Pressure and Gravity (score: 1): Author: dahlgren <dahlgren@uconect.net>; Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 09:35:51 -0400; would this suggest that the center of moment moves forward with increasing air speed due to the flat nose of most roadsters? Therefore you might want the greatest cross section at the rear to keep th; /html/land-speed/1999-06/msg00109.html (11,711 bytes)
4. Re: Center of Pressure and Gravity (score: 1): Author: "John Beckett" <landspeedracer@email.msn.com>; Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 09:46:20 -0400; OK totaly confused. So how does one find the center of pressure for any given vehicle? JB; /html/land-speed/1999-06/msg00110.html (9,685 bytes)
5. Re: Center of Pressure and Gravity (score: 1): Author: "John Beckett" <landspeedracer@email.msn.com>; Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 09:54:07 -0400; Would it be reasonable to say that the center of pressure, or moment as you call it, would be approximately in the center of the wheelbase? Most spins seem to be centered there. John Beckett the furt; /html/land-speed/1999-06/msg00111.html (11,937 bytes)
6. Re: Center of Pressure and Gravity (score: 1): Author: "Vaughn Rockney" <vintagegarage@erols.com>; Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 10:00:17 -0400; I would think so, but I'm the first to say I don't have it figured out. If the car was flying with the tires off the salt, then the body shape would be all that mattered for center of moment. With th; /html/land-speed/1999-06/msg00112.html (13,326 bytes)
7. Re: Center of Pressure and Gravity (score: 1): Author: "Thomas E. Bryant" <saltracer@awwwsome.com>; Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 07:22:09 -0700; I had a long discussion about ballast & spins with Tom Burkland whose knowledge and performance I respect. He ran almost 300 MPH in the Datsun "210" Comp Coupe several years ago. The ballast in the; /html/land-speed/1999-06/msg00114.html (11,934 bytes)
