Abstract

Over-all aerodynamic design considerations of The Blue Flame, a car which holds the world land-speed record, are discussed. Lift, drag, acceleration and deceleration characteristics are presented. Estimated drag coefficients and wind-tunnel results on a J^th scale model are compared with data measured during an actual speed run of The Blue Flame. Actual subsonic drag was found to be slightly lower than predicted.
