Sunraycer in the wind tunnel with Paul MacCready
I ran across this brief video shot inside of GM's wind tunnel,with Dr. Paul MacCready running a pitot-tube stethoscope across the cars body doing boundary layer whispering.
400-mpg according to MacCready, with modest otto-cycle power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLySMa3KRRE PS *Sunraycer was reported at Cd 0.089 with original wheel fairings. *In race form,without the fairings it was reported at Cd 0.125. *GM Aerodynamics Laboratory has since downgraded some of their earlier coefficients of aerodynamic drag and now claims Cd 0.147. |
