see thumbnail.

(yes, .o7)

wow...
looks like solar cell on the back?

Doesn't really look like an .07 with all of the right angles and the front wheels sticking down.

More info: Nuna 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They now have the Nuna 6 which is a little lower drag, but no Cd mentioned that I noticed:

It looks very much like a Cd of 0.07. it's a solar car -- the large flat surface is critical.

Humorously, I think the birds would like it!

The deck looks like an aircraft carrier!

As before mentioned; the looks somewhat don't match cd claims!

drmiller100 02-15-2012 11:10 PM

wow. that looks CLEAN to me.

I believe it has a very low CD. Simple, elegant.....

This looks a whole like the U of M solar car mold I found on campus recently.

These vehicles often look similar ;)
Same or similar solutions to the same problems, within the constraints of the competition rules.

Obviously inspired the design of the Star Wars 'Naboo Starfighter'

I wonder if they dimpled the R2D2 on these starfighters ;)

They should have, even for space travel. After all, you can hear explosions and other sounds in space, so there must be an atmosphere in the SW universe.;)
