A little reality check on the math though....

35 times the frontal area? That means it has 1/35 the drag coefficient, right?

1/35 = .029

IF the coefficient for the round shape was 1 (it must be less, but follow along), the coefficient for the airfoil is .029? Seems too low, even for a section of a chord? Someone has some numbers, right?
