MAY be useful for rocket body design.


I found this while researching a non-rocketry related project.

If you can figure out the coordinate system that they use it could be very
useful, as it gives you the drag coefficient of a given shape.  Granted, it
was designed for airfoils but methinks the same basic calculations go for
other shapes as well (rockets).  When it asks for the Reynolds number I
give it the answer from this page:

I wonder if the CD predictions on a rocket-ish shape would be accurate?
