Help my understanding of Cd...
Is the co-efficient of drag related to how much of the front profile actually catches air dead on instead of deflecting it in one direction or another? To be more specific, can it safely be assumed that a flat-faced RV has a cd of 1.0?
Also, are there any calculators available that could help me plot the energy consumption of a vehicle at various speeds, based on it's weight/cd/inclines/etc? Keeping in mind that the math portion of my brain is retarded and my eyes glaze over at mathematical formula?
