I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

So that explains aerodynamics.
I suppose thermodynamics which is all about temperature and movement, etc., dictates that when thoughts and words are sent over the internet, they warm up and become a lot of hot air?
Just joking, fellers.

If U wont sum hot air U cum 2 the right post

RE: AERODYNAMICS
The KW Mob have bin into aerodynamics fir many years
They evn invented a KW glider kit
Not to B confuzed with the 'V'bus mob
az there beasts glide like a led ballon
Did hear sum time ago wen KW released the Anteater KW B n very aerodynamic
they did a photo shoot
they stood a camera on tripod on side of the road n took sum shots as the beast rolled by
the beast twaz a stock standard KW of the day ...... the wind blu the camera n tripod over
next the aerodynamic KW Anteater rolled by n the camera n tripod never moved with
all the wind turbulence ....... or lack there of
RE: This is why an Aeroplane get's off the ground
All thiz time me bin thinkn the planes must have a huge sky hook to hold m a lof
LOL

...yes Swishy .. In amongst all the carefully crafted shapes and curves, Kenworths' credo of the day said that you were never allowed external air filters on a T600...the precept being that, if allowed, the aerodynamic qualities of the design would be compromised or "spoiled"...
...You could get your external 'cleaners if you really wanted them...They just had to be ordered on the shape of truck that was the T650.....no ifs, buts, or maybe.......

And while we are Areo they place those littlr vertical tips on the wing to stop the air running off the end Sure the areo expert will find a photo of what I mean

Actually Swishy the last photo shows vortex generators.
They are designed to disrupt the airflow and make the air follow the shape they are flowing across.
The Mitsubishi Evo 10 (I think?) was the first car to use them on the road.
They are intended to make the air break up and stick to the rear window and flow over the bootlid and apply pressure to the spoiler mounted on the boot. Without the generators the spoiler would be in basically still air.
They can also be used on the front of a car.

Swishy mate
Last Friday the two wise young lads said..........
Quote (Aerodynamics are for people who cannot build Trucks) unquote.
So who built the Anteater ?
