Area-51 lives in the ether and remains a privately governed top secret
scientific
underground hideout... The "Obsidian Files" have not yet been sanctioned for
public release.
Feedback from flyers using the wheel fairing feel there is a difference but no
measured comparative flight test information has been gathered; at this stage
purely going off the numbers being spat out by computer analysis. Slight high
speed wing root turbulence may be experienced during a nose up attitude,
mitigated
by implementing wing root farings; a larger radius between fuselage and wing
provides greater affect than a tight radius, 1/4 to mid chord back. It begins
at about 4deg AoA and runs back over the mid section fuselage to the horizontal
stabilizer root and increases in amplitude as alpha AoA increases to stall
angle.
