Interesting conversation concerning streamliners. Ken Walky stated that there had never been a ground effects streamliner that did not fly. Accumulated wisdom could not refute Ken's theory. We had to

Hi Dan; Here is my input. In 1990 I talked my partners Ken Logan and Jerry Jones into trying ground effects for traction instead of lead. We took all the lead out (about 800 lbs. I think) and I built

That's true Doug, but the one main difference is that aeronautical engineers are trained to develop those aeronautics on all surfaces for a vehicle that is receiving lift from it's own design. The ca

There are no flat surfaces on Freds car, nor Vesco's, Teagues , Whites and the is a reason. Air flows smother over a curved surface. Air trying to push up on a flat sided vehicle creates a hell of a

OK, but don't Indy, CART and F-1 cars have ground effects? And aren't they turning corners all the time and some at very high speeds? Ken Walkey may be right with his statement, but I still fail to u

Actually F1, CART, IRL all are flat bottom cars currently. There is max aero on the sides and top. I, personally don't have an accurate count of streamliners round, square, flat bottom or ground effe

I thought Dave Dozier said he had some sort of ground effects with his car. I think when he put the hemi in it the added speed pulled the bottom off his 'liner. NT788 would know a lot more about this
