One of the most beautifully streamlined airplanes ever designed is the North American P-51 Mustang shown in Fig. 4.46. The Mustang has one of the lowest minimum drag coefficients of any airplane in history: CD = 0.0163. The wing planform area of the Mustang is 233 ft2. Using the result from Prob. 5.32, show that the drag area for the Mustang is 3.8 ft2; that is, drag on the whole P-51 airplane is the same as the drag on a flat plate perpendicular to the flow of an area of only 3.8 ft2.
