he same area, then the relation between the resistance ofthe flat plate, and the strut will be expressed by the formulaR/D = 4L/300d, where L = length of section and d =width as in Fig. 2. This can be transposed for conven-ience, by assuming the drag of a flat plate as D =0.003AV^ where A = area in… … Fig. 3.
