Kurt- the problem I had, is that Steve quoted the velocity in Ft/sec (go
back and read it, its there) and it should be MPH, as in the spec- I did
not have access to the spec, and thought he was quoting, when he was
paraphrasing, and, as almost any Engineer would, used the units that are
more normal.
I have been a competant aerodynamicist and Aerospace Engineer for amny
years, and have written, reviewed, and used specs for lots of things. They
are subjuect to error, and that was what I suspected. I think it is now
clarified, at least in my mind.
Thanks
Bill
