For real body shapes, air at standard conditions, V in mph, and drag in pounds of force, this equation becomes: ... Here are measured drag coefficients for some basic shapes. These numbers come from tests of shapes with known cross sectional areas. You blow air over them and measure the force on the shape.

A method for aerodynamic shape optimization using a genetic algorithm with real number encoding is presented. ... 8b) and airfoil shapes (Fig. 8c) at various stages of the GA design process for the best chromosome. Clearly, one result of this optimization is reduction in the airfoil thickness, something that may not...

Ask a question about aircraft design and technology, space travel, aerodynamics, aviation history, astronomy, or other subjects related to aerospace engineering. ... Can you explain why a golf ball has dimples? If dimples reduce drag, why don't we see this surface feature on other aerodynamic shapes like airplane wings?

aerodynamic shapes, air density, wind forces: Hi I m not too sure I understand exactly the geometry of your device, but I can answer your general query so you have something to work with. The lift force generated by any aerodynamic surface or object (such as a wing) is given by L=1/2 rho V^2 S CL,... ... About Ray Wilkinson;
