How to Design Suspension Geometry for a Front Wheel Driven Trike?
Hi, Interesting configuration. If I could spread the front wheels by a foot, and get a single nose wheel leg through the middle, I'd have something I could fly with. I'll have to find one that I can look at up close. Thanks for the link. Dan- danscope

How Does Aerodynamic Design Enhance Car Performance and Efficiency?
Hi, You should see my design for a three wheeled flying motorcycle. A section of glider fuselage with one wheel in back and two wheels forward, tandem seating, and a modest 2 cycle engine for power. Rotax water cooled would be ideal. 65mph ground speed. Flying package in the form of a Burt...- danscope
