Cost of operating today’s auto
mobile is unnecessarily high, ac
cording to an A&M aerospace en
gineering senior.
“Car designers almost always
ignore aerodynamics and concen
trate on style and gimmicks,”
charges David B. Kanipe of Cor
pus Christi.
Gimmicks cause added drag and
decrease efficiency, he says.
“Then, instead of cleaning up
the design and making the car a
cleaner craft, the industry resorts
to larger engines, more power and

greater cost to make up for poor
design,” he adds.
Other than high speed racing
cars driven in large racing
events, automobiles are not de
signed to slip as easily as possible
through the air, he notes.
The culprit is the coefficient of
drag, aerodynamicist’s term for
the amount of resistance to air
flow.
For most autos, it ranges from
0.6 to 1.0. As the figure gets
closer to 1.0, more power is re
quired to overcome the force.
“For instance, a body that looks
like a moving van has a drag co
efficient of 0.86,” Kanipe ex
plains. “For a convertible, it’s
about 0.95. The drag coefficient
of a Volkswagen is about 0.37,
which may seem quite small. One
reason for this is because of its
relatively clean underside.”
He says the coefficient of Can-
Am and Grand Prix race cars is
about 0.4 to 0.5. For an airplane
wing cross section, it is 0.03.
Automotive streamlining can
take one of two routes, the A&M
student stated in a class report
for Dr. Charles A. Rodenberger.
The car body can be sized so it
disturbs air flow less, or designed
so the boundary layer—a thin
film of air next to the surface
that moves very slowly relative
to the free stream—remains at
tached to the surface.
Pressure disturbances created
by protrusions such as air scoops
and other styling devices can
cause the boundary layer to move
against the free stream or de
tach from the surface, creating
eddies, turbulence and drag.
An untested design suggested
by Kanipe in his report employs
a body shape with a long sloping
front end reducing the front sec
tion of the car and a “chopped
off” rear slope of the so-called
“fastback’ design. He placed the
engine between the driver and
rear axle, with the radiator locat
ed behind an air inlet that lets
air flow uninterrupted over the
windshield and top of the car.
“Shoulder scoops behind in
ward slanting doors draw off the
boundary layer that will climb
the sides of the car (causing rain
drops to move upward on the side
windows of a moving car) and
help cool the engine,” Kanipe
comments. Similar scoops cool the
enclosed rear wheels, with the air
ducted out at the back to stabil
ize vortexes that form behind the
car.
He selected a 60-inch wheel
base for better handling and 13-
inch and 14-inch wheel rims front
and rear, enaibling a lower profile
only 41^4 inches tall.
He also wants the underside
closed. By making it relatively
smooth, drag is further reduced.
Kanipe computed such a ma
chine’s drag coefficient to be
0.5288, cojnparable tp that of race
cars.

AERODYNAMIC CAR—A sideview sketch of David Kanipe’s idea of a more stream
lined automobile.
Piggy-back planes could
solve transport problems
A Texas A&M student from
Hong Kong has an idea that
could ease a number of air trans
port problems, such as the fre
quency of sonic booms and ex
pansion of airports to handle the
larger aircraft being built.
Vincent Chan proposes a sort
of piggy-back airplane system.
It calls for a mid-air rendevous
of aircraft that would allow a
larger, faster craft to stay aloft
for long periods of time.
“The system mainly involves
two airplanes in the play, a moth
er plane and twin plane,” the
aerospace engineering senior ex
plained.
“These planes are leaving, say,
Los Angeles, with a full load of
passengers going to Chicago, New
York, London, Paris, Berlin, Vien
na, Taiwap, etc., and Los Angeles
’ . TT7 v ’ , j . seated passengers out
again. When the connected ait- the twin plan e hu n on
planes approach Chicago, the twin
vide express transportation be
tween continental points and do
away with airports needing long
runways for supersonic planes
which land at higher speeds and
need a longer distance to come to
a complete stop.
“The main plane could stay in
the air forever, theoretically, if
there were no trouble with equip
ment nor damage to the aircraft,”
Chan said. “Such would not be
the case, however, After a certain
number of flight hours, the par
ent craft would have to land for
overhaul.”
Chan, who attended New Meth
od College in Hong Kong also
suggested in an aerospace engi
neering course report for Dr.
Charles A. Rodenberger other in
novations.
One is to extract and insert
seated passengers out of and into
conveyor
belt system. It would prevent con
fusion of passengers boarding
planes and put the actual loading
operation under airport techni
cians’ control.
To save wear and tear on the
parent plane when it eventually
has to land for overhaul, Chan
also designed an arresting net
barrier system. Extended across
a runway, it would cut down on
landing distance required, reduce
damaging impact inertia and pre
vent the plane over-running or
skidding on the runway.
He said that considerable sav
ings could be realized in oper
ating the piggyback concept,
through keeping the larger, more
costly to operate mother plane
in the thin upper atmosphere
where its engines operate more
efficiently, and removing the ne
cessity for airport expansion to
handle big r planes.
plane would separate from the
parent ship and head for the air
port with passengers bound for
Chicago only,” Chan described.
Another twin plane with pas
sengers going to New York or any
other destination on the mother
craft’s route leaves about 10 min
utes before the parent plane pass
es Chicago.
“This plane—carrying fuel, a
new crew and other accessories—
would rendevous with the mother
plane at a lower altitude and
slower speed,” he continued.
“Once docking is secure, the
tail part of the twin plane and
the front of the mother plane
would open, allowing passengers
aboard the bigger aircraft bound
for the next destination to trans
fer into the twin plane. Similarly,
passengers from Chicago hound
for points further along the route
would move into the parent ship.
“Separation and rendevous will
repeat itself at each destination,”
Chan said.

Fifteen faculty-staff members
will receive $1,000 awards at the
university’s annual Faculty Rec
ognition and Awards Program at
3:30 p.m. Thursday in G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
The program also will include
recognition of six retiring faculty
members with university service
totaling 131 years.
The Association of Former Stu
dents will present 12 of the $1,000
awards and the Standard Oil (In
diana) Foundation three. The As
sociation of Former Students
awards also include commemora
tive watches.
Seven of the Former Students
awards will be presented for
teaching, three for research and
one each for individual student
relationships and extension work.
All three Standard Oil awards
are based on teaching achieve
ments. &
Identity of the recipients will
not be revealed until the reading
of the individual certificates at
the program.
The program also will include
recognition of Dr. A. M. Soren
sen Jr., professor of animal sci
ence who earlier in the year was
selected a Piper Professor of
1970 by the Minnie Stevens Piper
Foundation of San Antonio. That
award also included a $1,000 hon
orarium.
Gen. A. R. Luedecke, acting
president of the university, will
preside. Former Students Presi
dent Jim Sewell of Dallas will
make brief remarks and present
the association’s awards.
Thanks Old Army
for a great year. We appreciate your business,
and we want you to know it. We sincerely
hope that our dealings have been as pleasant
for you as they’ve been for us. And for the
men that are leaving, come on in and let us
buy your books one more time. We’ll pay the
best price - as always - and shake your hand
one more time.
