| My copy of Theory Of Wing Sections says the cp of symetrical air foils is 23% to 25% from the nose - An aeronautical engineer I consult with who is race car savy says the cp of a streamliner without a tail fin is at 15% - With a tail fin it must be at 25% to 40% depending on the size of the fin - Makes you wonder if it's even possible to get the cg ahead of the cp on any lsr car - Seems like it breakes down to lateral traction vs aero forces - It shows why aero lift is so bad . |
