Estimating the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow
Hashing out the classic question with Strouhal numbers and simplified flight waveforms It's not a question of where he grips it. It’s a simple question of weight ratios. A 5 ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut. Do the math. -------------------- AIM==Mynzeyes
