New NACA VGs

New NACA VGs

Based on a study that David Ullman did on VGs for the top of the Velocity, specifically to generate better airflow into the cooling NACA ducts, I’ve decided to replicate his experiences. He determined that larger vortex generators that are typically used on airfoils would be required to get into the high energy air at the edge […]

Nose Pant 2.0

Nose Pant 2.0

Here we go again. Nose pants are notorious in Velocity circles for getting chucked off for various offenses. I can only hope we can spare this one. Jerry has set up the paint booth in his shop to paint the underside of N202VB, so he was kind enough to shoot this too. I’m hoping to […]
