RE: Side Force Generators
Woohoo! All these aerodynamicists here it boggles my mind. Is there someone here who actually does the theoretical and practical work for a living or did everyone just get their information from the 'net and from books? This has become a little bit hot but it would now make sense to get someone who is actually an authority on this...especially on low R regimes. It's all great that on one hand we have people who have practical experience but we also have people who have the theoretical know-how. Now, why don't we do a "real-world" experiment and use one of the planes mentioned here already like that Fazer with the SFGs. One look at it and it seems to be more modified than just that. Why not use actual numbers from that plane? I went for aeronautical engineering and truthfully, there are still a lot of things we don't know out there because in "real world (read:economics)" applications, there's no need to give a great amount of R&D like SFGs.
