[QUOTE="rimfiremac, post: 1197964, member: 63426"] Comparing the depicted shapes, I would be interested to see empirical data for the two. The VLD has a longer boat tail, improving both drag characteristics and also transonic stability. That long boat tail also reduces bearing surface area, enabling less energy to be lost due to kinetic friction. These two design features are pretty fundamental- not a whole lot of voodoo math required. The ELD may have a high sectional density, but it appears the designers left out a few 'good ideas' for whatever reason. [/QUOTE]
