'The object of analysing aerodynamic drag is to determine the relationship between cause and effect. If each detail's contribution to drag could be defined and then minimized, a vehicle with the minimum aerodynamic drag would be obtained...'
If profile drag dominates aerodynamic drag, there is value in analyzing profiles which minimize it.
