Apparently there are three volumes available through an Amazon
bookseller...a mere $262.50 plus S&H... Nice, but maybe not necessary. Ya'll
remember that vehicle aerodynamics is different from aeronautical stuff
becasue of that pesky ground surface...while some of the upper surfaces may
be treated as 3 dimensional, the bottom one is really screwy. And it affects
flow along the sides of the car..
IMHO, and that isn't worth much these days..
mayf, off planet in a soggy Pahrump, where of all things they had an
avalanche on Mt Charleston and at least one skier is missing..
