Default RE: downforce calculations!


ORIGINAL: Ron S

downforce approx = 0.00000802 X V^2.

Where V is in feet per second, and force will be in pounds.

Take this generated load as a ballpark value.

Ron, where does that take into consideration the area of the plate? and it's angle? All I see is velocity squared times a constant.
