As far as proving aero stability and facts.
Which aerodynamist are you to believe, as porkpie says ask 10 aerodynamist and get 10 different answers.
As far as Blues theories, unstreamlined bikes at 270 and passenger car at over 340 proves him wrong by real racers
What do you think of a rapid lane change at 600 mph as suggested by an aerodynamist?
The same person suggested I try it at high speed in the 222 car to test aero stability. I replied, suggesting that showed his basic missunderstanding of traction on salt of rear wheel drive vehicles.
As far as responding with facts go back and look at all the post with unanswered questions to Blue.
Its as though he started this thread so he can sit back and say [I told you so]
Paul who is your aerodynamist?
JL222
JL222
My opinion is irrelevant, what is relevant though is that you feel he is talking through the top of his head and that opinion is fine and the right of anyone else on the forum. All I was suggesting is, rather than gathering a lynch mob cause "were gonna have a hanging", Offer some genuine facts as to why he is wrong then people can use those fact to assist them with their projects.
Once the arguing starts, the topic goes to pot and the discussion results in a waste of server space and may as well be deleted. I have no intention of standing up and telling anyone on these forums that they are doing it wrong, I'm here cause I want to learn about aerodynamics and vehicle stability, I am here because I want to design and build a vehicle that will travel across the face of the earth at over 1000 mph and the back again, with one sole purpose in my mind and that is, at the end of it, the driver can climb out un aided and say "We did it"!
As for my aerodynamist, I am not going to divulge and information re: any of the personnel involved in The Bullet Project at the moment. I designed the car and CFD testing will commence in due course. I can say that our aerodynamist was the chief CFD engineer for a major Formula One team and has recently left Formula One just last year.
We are 10 years + behind all the other teams out there in this challenge. Only one of them has acknowledged the fact we are going for 1000 mph (thank you Waldo) the rest are pretending we don't exist. My site has links to all the other players websites I get none in return. Thats why I'm playing my cards close to my chest. All up to date info will be on our website.
Cheers
Paul
