Hello,

You seem to be the expert on all this stuff. Any aero engineers on this site? What is the optimum streamline tear drop shape? I've seen mentions of 2.3:1, 3:1 in an aero book, and 2.7:1 calculated from diagrams? I would think the optimum shape would depend on speed, but have not found any reference to that.
