CheBosto:

The Carrera Step Diffuser is like an aircraft we tested in the late 60's at Edwards FTC at Muroc Dry Lake Bed. Very NACA and all that. The idea was to create a low pressure zone.

Please check out some of the Northrop aircraft of the 60's and 70's they made the subject very clear. The M2F2 lifting body crash pictures were filmed by your's truly ! The Northrop pilot Petterson was flying the next month after crash.

Ever see the Million Dollar Man?

Cheers Amy -
