An interesting presentation

A useful presentation. It gives dimensions (all but one) to models and gives their CD from tests. This can be used to check your simulations.

They also do some other experiments. One they play with a boat tail. Another they play with vortex generators ( they found airtabs to reduce drag by about 3% on one of the models).
