Rotarded1647545491 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Here is an interesting site to calculate aerodynamic drag to horsepower loss at speeds: http://www.gtechprosupport.com/support/AeroDragCalc.htm It is also commonly stated that you need 10 more horsepower for every 100 pounds of weight over your opponent. Let the bench racing begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have a drag coef of .500 and the frontal area of a 747. I need 500rwhp to maintain forward progression above 70mph. It's all about the 60' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboII7 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I think he was saying of A 747, yeah 747sq ft would be like pusing the first floor of a small house in front of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
