This is a big deal for me. The publisher of three high tech vehicle racing magazines in London was very happy indeed to receive permission to republish my 1968 AIAA tech paper on the Aerodynamics & The Group Seven Sports Car. Made me happy too  :)

Thanks to Daniel Michaels for converting it from a pdf to a doc file.

The publisher contacted some old race photographers that are still alive for color pictures. There may be half a dozen or more pictures of old race cars that I suppled the wings or designed the body work. It will be on the cover of the next edition of Bernoulli Aerodynamics International magazine read by race car aerodynamic engineers around the world. If you want a copy subscribe now.

Hi Paul,

Congrats on the publication, even if it is 40 years young!

Here's what I'm doing with my time. It's a PIK-20 E2F self launched
sailplane. I'm trying to get through the annual inspection. There are
unaddressed ADs on the wrist pin bearings and the cylinder studs, the
fuselage has taken up residence in the garage. I'm hoping to be in the
air in a few weeks but I've been saying that for months.

Cool Paul. In Europe they use single rotor Diamond/Midwest engines to power self launching sailplanes. What kind of engine do you have?


The article was 40 years ahead of its time. That is why the publisher
got so excited :) Are you listening jd? :)
