KrisFlyZ 0 #51 June 25, 2007 Looks nice Straining the neck in the opposite direction of how we want to align the body must be hard. We are a rough airfoil, smaller rough shape is better than adding a lot of form drag and making the surface smooth. Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are a rough airfoil, smaller rough shape is better than adding a lot of form drag and making the surface smooth. This job is done! The Lunatic went by itself in the opposite body line direction. It takes actually a bit power to look down. And by the way, Kris... Will you make it for our competition after the date has changed (20.-22.07.)? You welcome to test jump the Lunatic...

LouDiamond 1 #56 June 25, 2007 Aerodynamically speaking, both of those helmets create additional drag when the pilot puts his chin on his chest for max performance as the tail or rear section of the helmet creates more surface area resitance. I've got an aerodynamic flow picture of this somewhere based off of bicycle testing on helmets with this design that shows the increase in drag. If I find it I'll post it. Basically, both of those helmets simply look cool but actually provide no real advantage for our application."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That´s not the best way for performance, I guess. The rear section design of the helmet helps to reduce the turbulence behind the head. The streamliners in the past up to now use this shape. The solar power driven vehicles use it (they recognize every small improvement). The ski jumper use the top design with positive results in the windchannel. (Tests from Uvex) And now the bicyclist (GS1 teams/ Tour de France) invest more than 1 billion $ every year in this sport- for the reason that they get the highest sponsoring of all sports in the world. I worked for a GS1- team for years and I promise, they just intresting in "results" Honestly... the "Lunatic" doesn`t help an unexperienced pilot to win a competition but it helps to keep the head straight, and probably it gives a bit of lift (selfconfidence "For some, reality is a way of life"- a few, just change it (with power of believing). For sure the "Lunatic" creates fun and that´s an effective tool to modify reality.

The rear section design of the helmet helps to reduce the turbulence behind the head. I think you are saying the same thing I just said. Unless the pointy teardrop shape is alligned along the persons back(over the reserve pack tray),resulting in a chin/head back position, more drag is created when the person lowers the head to a normal position or puts their chin on thier chest."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
