A new product / electronic device my employer is developing is packaged in an aluminum enclosure that is roughly 10'' square. One intended use for this product is a mobile application, mounted to the roof of vehicles like police cars.
I say that the enclosure needs to be sustantially smaller and more aerodynamic, and that it would create substantial aerodynamic drag which could limit top speeds. I also have visions of it breaking loose from the the roof of a vehicle at speeds in excess of 100 MPH. My co-worker / project manager says that the size of the device is fine and that a 300 HP cruiser will hardly notice the difference. Who's right? |
