It's funny.People seem to want to project the notion that aero is some great mystery,some "black art" which mystifies even those with stratospheric college degrees.Nature just seems to throw it out there nice and easy.That template closely resembles half of a Perrigrine Falcon,closely studied by NASA and MIT.While I will spend the rest of my life tinkering with aero,I'd sure like to see the big guns dispel all the myths and fallacies and let us move on to new business.Grade school math seems to be adequate to understand all the fine points.Weird!
