I remember there was a long drawn out, confusing discussion here on how the EV-1 could have a .19 Cd, yet be so far off of the template.
Aerohead, I think you mentioned something about the tumblehome playing a large part in keeping flow attached once the rear glass goes out of the curve of the template.
Did I understand correctly ?

Gary Eaker is one of the people that worked at G.M. on the E.V.-1 aerodynamics.

I have suggested in the past that some of you here might could invite him to the forum as a guest.
No one seemed interested.
I would invite him here myself, but I'm a "no-body" .
Aerodynamics is just a hobby that fascinates me, and I can't even do basic math.

Rather than argue back and forth, how about let's invite some other experts to the forum.

I'd love to have a guest on the forum that could answer some of the questions here.

I have Gary's contact information if anyone is interested.
