Do our Researchers have too much time on their hands these days? This has arrived over the cybertransom.

The following part of the thread from "Great Perspective" made me try to recreate the heavy metal ramjet propelled flying cow. It has just reached past Mach one (thus the vapour cone) and the Ramjet has kicked in.



Paulh:

is a heavy metal scarecrow designed to scare away heavy metal crows? I'm not sure how heavy metal cows would fly, but anyone evil enough to build them would find a way.


Caiman raptor elk:

Probably using a RAM-jet principle (very loud). Although I seriously doubt the aerodynamic properties of cows, let alone cows of the heavy metal persuasion.


Paulh:


My face is red. I meant crows but typed cows, and didn't notice the typo. But somehow, heavy flying cows is funnier. Even Mother Goose liked aviating cows.



Caiman raptor elk:

I already thought it might have been a typo.


Anyway, the result would be scared cows, considering you first have to get them over Mach 1 to fire up the RAM-jet.


Just wondering what the drag coëfficiënt of a cow is, and what would happen getting near Mach 6. Probably the invention of the doppler Moooo.
