Pro Tips

Air density @ sea level, 59 degrees, no wind = p =.002377 slugs/ft^3


Coefficient of drag (flat plate, NASA) = C(d) =1.28


Weight = W = 4451 lbs


Gravitation constant = g = 32.2 ft/sec^2


Area = A = 197.5\" long x 78.2\" wide x (1 ft^2/ 144in^2)


Vehicle falls flat, wheels 1st, straight down, atconstant acceleration with no aerodynamic drag until terminalvelocity


Horsepower needed to accelerate is AVERAGE - notpeak


100% driveline efficiency
