By numbers I mean actual measured values. There are a lot of numbers made up by proffessors used simply as examples, or test problems, then picked up as fact, when it never was fact.
Those darn professors! The CD numbers in my post are measured values, and I've found several web pages with similar values. I haven't found clear references to measured lift values, and the one in my post seemed to be calculated using an equation for the lift due to the Magnus effect.
