Have you heard anything recently out of Georgia Tech/Englar?

These experimental results show overall aerodynamic drag reductions on the Pneumatic Heavy Vehicle of 50% using only 1 psig blowing pressure in the plenums, and over 80% drag reductions if additional blowing air were available.
This sounds like the requirement is mild, but it doesn't talk about the volumes involved. I have 1500cfm of hot air available under my back bumper but I don't know at what pressure.
