- Hi Listers, Read all that great stuff about thermodynamics and radiators and just loved it. Made me think that with such a great pool of knowledge and people working with it someone might have access

- Hey Daniel, Used to have access to 3 back when my company actually BUILT airplanes. The new company in Illinois has a tunnel in Dayton, Ohio. I don't know what their policies would be for access. Wil

- There are data tables that will give you the drag readings of a brick. That is a reasonable approximation for a spridget! Mike working full & UK would

- It seems to me that it might be possible to measure the aerodynamic drag of a car without a wind tunnel if you knew of some hilly roads with a known gradient where you could do some experimenting wi

- Just how fast are your Spridgets? Are you packing 427 cu in. under those bonnets? I don't think my Midget would ever go fast enough to worry much about wind drag and aerodynamics. If it did my guess

- I can tell you from experience that a bugeye sprite gets pretty light of steering at > 120mph! I wish I could have had a front spoiler on but it was against the rules. The fastest bugeye was doing we

- Hi David, I want my Sprite to do 133mph with a normally aspirated, road useable A-Series engine. This requires about 175 bhp as far as I can tell. If I settle for 129mph I only need the engine to dev

- Downforce is a beautiful thing. There was (according to folklore) a batch of early XK-120s imported to the states that kicked the snot out of everything, including other 120s. It was determined that
