Does anyone knows the drag coefficient for the R32?

The drag coefficient must be multiplied by the effective frontal area to create the real aero drag.

no problem just felt like being a bit of a bellend

the formula is Drag=Cd*Afrontal*Velocity^2remember that you will need to convert velocity to the relevant system.
