I've done tons of searching, but I haven't been able to find if anyone knows the coefficient of lift for a 914? I've found lots of Cd and Ca numbers, but I need the Cl for some data work.
Thanks! |

QUOTE CL = Coefficient of lift , which is determined by the type of airfoil and angle of attack. Well I sure hope that the lift comes out to be a negative number in all cases for a street car. Now a formula-1 going 180MPH and coming over a rise is a little different.... I dont believe that these calculations will apply to our cars because of the ground effect. We should have a vacuum under our cars at speed. A free-flying aircraft does not experience ground effect until feet from the ground. And in that case it works opposite to the ground effect of a vehicle (it helps to hold it OFF the ground) Stu |
