Re: Center of pressure?

Keith,
       Here is what an aero engineer at Lockheed told me.
What you want to know is the lateral center of pressure (as in Yaw).
Take a picture of the car from the side with a telephoto from enough
distance and a low enough angle to give you a good profile. Enlarge
it to a convinient size. Paste it to thin cardboard and cut out the
outline of the car. Ballance the cutout on a razor blade (blade paralell
to a fuselage station plane). This will give you the approximate lateral
center of pressure. This is as close as you can get without some
serious wind tunnel or CFD time.
