I bought the book about two weeks ago, and find most of stuff in there, very interesting.

I would have loved to be at the GM wind tunnel when the Edison2 was run there! One, to witness the Cd of the Edison2, and two, to see the mechanics of the huge balance that measures drag. .160.

While at the wind tunnel, the Edison aero-engineer was making fine adjustments to the cooling inlet, which lowered Cd from 0.170 to 0.160.

I'm on my second pass of the book. Well worth a read.

Jim.
