    Is this is what happens when you don’t assume a spherical cow?

      I thought you’re supposed to assume a vacuum.

        Assume both otherwise we have to face center of gravity issues.

        Maybe let the cow be a point mass?

        That does tend to simplify the aerodynamics modeling

    they forgot to model the aeromethane-spike from the cow fart.

    I mean it definitely reduces over all drag.

      If we install a nozzle with a check valve leaving the methane out but no flames in, we could build pulse jet driven bionic cows.

      This wouldn’t change the aerodynamics at all but definitely increase the cows speed and reduce the global warming effect a bit

        Not sure if this is !spaceflightmemes@sh.itjust.works or !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works. Maybe a bit of both.

      Thanks. If anyone in the future asks my opinion regarding breast size, I can safely say that a preliminary study has shown that, aerodynamically speaking, it is better to have large breasts.

        Only if you’re facing the wind directly. In other orientations it may not be ideal. The analysis appears incomplete.
