I know, Mac. Surprising that they didn?t all fall out of the air! Maybe there was little or no airflow separation because the brakes were well clear of the wing surface when fully deployed. Images 29 & 30 here http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/vulcan/walkaround.php Mike _

A little science from English researchers in 1957 http://naca.central.cranfield.ac.uk/reports/arc/cp/0323.pdf but I'm sure there must be more recent published findings from elsewhere. This suggests that a solid airbrake produces a bubble of reduced airflow behind the brake with airflow velocity

any Test,however it is performed,gives a lot of informations! The aerodynamic principles are always the same ,also in the case of the hot" bellyboard -drag" discusion.For me it's important the location of the board and I think the place underneath the rearspar is very well chosen ( far

The RAF Vulcan bomber had solid airbrakes-no holes (which enabled this 90 ton delta to descend vertically-..been there..) Mac On Wed, Dec 31, 2014 at 9:51 AM, Herbert F?rle wrote: > > any Test,however it is performed,gives a lot of informations! The > aerodynamic principles are always the

the only thing i could see as a variable, would be the wind traveling Up the windshield and possible skipping over some of the board. if the board is too short, you won?t have any results. Too tall may rip it off the roof. I can?t wait to hear the results. > On Dec 31, 2014, at 1:29 AM, Adam

it would seem at least sufficient for our application. Is there a way to check resistance while the board with holes is in the stowed position? > On Dec 30, 2014, at 7:17 PM, bjoenunley via KRnet > wrote: > > Belly board holes or no holes; > > I have considered making a belly board with

It's a valid test. But "better" testing would be a few vacuum (they also read a little bit of pressure) set up at strategic locations around the test section. While the holes might have more drag.. I bet the flat board causes a bigger "high pressure" zone. On Wed, Dec 31, 2014 at 12:33 AM, Adam
