Walter Korff evaluates the MGA
(I looked at all the threads in which Walter Korff is mentioned and didn't find this.
Hope I didn't miss it. :o ) Aerohead, this one's for you! A thank you for all your posts that have educated/entertained us all. :thumbup: Second only to the holy Hucho, Walter Korff is frequently mentioned as having done good work on auto aero "back in the day." I found this article on Korff's evaluation of the aerodynamics of the venerable MGA. Noteworthy is his highlighting various passenger comfort issues that were caused or made worse by the car's airflow. http://i.imgur.com/Hak3a.png As you can see, there are other important aerodynamic factors to automotive design aside from basic streamlining. Many other production cars share the MGA’s ills in this respect. Correction is, in some instances, restricted by other requirements, but it's easy to conclude that little - if any - consideration was given to these aspects in the design of the subject vehicle, yet both performance and passenger comfort could have been noticeably better if it had.
