My name is Dain, and I'm wondering if someone would be able to help me, or point me in the right direction on designing a aerodynamic 3 wheeled billy cart.
Once a year at my old home town of Beechwood in NSW, Australia, is a 5.6 km 2 person billy cart race down Pappinbarra Mountain,
this year (the 28th annual billycart classic) we ran down the mountain in a time of 10minutes and 5 seconds, but the winners came down the mountain in a time of 6 minutes 57sec.. this was the 4th year in a row that "bessy" (the name of the cart) has won the billycart classic, until now we have only gone down the mountain for a bit of fun, and we didnt have a very fast cart.
Well now it time to design and build "BESSY BEATER"
I was wondering if someone could send me some simple but effective shapes and dimensions that fit the basic designs of the billycarts that are run in this event,
current cart size's are approx 800mm high x 1000mm wide x 2500/3000mm long. ( remembering that the passenger may have to get out and push up hills)
