I usually don't throw messages in bottles into the social media ocean... But let's try! I am looking for figures and curves on the #aerodynamic performance of airfoils used by early #aviation pioneers. In particular for the profile on the drawing below. Yes, the intrados is open. Yes, the shape isn't optimal. Anyway... Old books, research papers, etc. I'll take anything you can reference/recommend here! ✈️

This is one of the most interesting interviews I have done. KTM technical boss Sebastian Risse gets into the weeds on the feedback loop between power and aero, on putting the throttle in the rider's hand, and on shifting design goals.

I'm very excited because I was again able to see a Normal Shock Wave on the wing of an E170 I was flying on. It's this very subtle vertical shadow in the middle of the wing. NSW happens when part of the airflow over the wing is supersonic, while the rest is still subsonic. In the transition area between supersonic and subsonic, a standing wave becomes barely visible. A video of this, together with a better explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HekbC6Pl4_Y

An excellent read on how #aerodynamics has gone from being an afterthought to a central part of motorcycle design in #MotoGP. Aero is not just for going faster in a straight line.
I know a lot of people would like to see MotoGP ban aero, but that horse has already bolted

If a Copernican Revolution were to arise today, in any Scientific discipline, HOW does that take place...?
Would the scientific community support the switch, or oppose it as has previously been the standard...?

So here's the thing I was writing, about the influence of ride-height devices and #aerodynamics in #MotoGP.
MotoGP has changed. It's no longer all about the front of the bike. It's all about the rear. The European factories have understood this. The Japanese factories still have to catch up.
Is the era when Japanese factories dominated the sport coming to an end? Has a new European era dawned?

On the Origin, and Species, of Lift:
Part 2
When an object blocks the path of a fluid, alternating swirls of the fluid 'escape' past it
- forming a pattern known as the 'Von Kármán Street', named for a scientist who studied the phenomenon.
It's related to 'Darwin Drift'.
