On the origninal design it was thought that it's total drag area would be 0.31 sq. ft. But as the design evolved (retractable gear were eliminated), the drag area went up.
Thanks High Plains !
I understand the flat plate area tells AC designer a lot about the drag without having to go into details.
May I ask how do you know so much about the VmaxProbe ?
Do you know the plane in my avatar ?
