Re: REFLECTOR: Need advice on air scoop
Dennis,
My racing guru friends confirm the info I got from Canadian Eaa web site
that the inlet area should be between 1/6 and 1/4 the face area of the
radiator for a plenum that tapers between 7 and 11 degrees. Actually the
curve of the plenum shape is more complex.
David Parrish ( a fellow reflectorite ) is thrashing deeply into this water
cooling stuff.
Up front where the air is undisturbed a NACA duct sounds like a good bet .
Some folks did test on that reported in the CSA Canard Pusher newsletter
about a year ago.
