Also, it seems unlikely that Airbus has wind tunnels dedicated to low-speed testing.
Airbus operates a low speed wind tunnel in Filton - aiming at the takeoff and landing phase tests. However this tunnel is only low speed from their perspective as it can operate at speeds up to 350 km/h which is still way high for cycling and running at speeds relevant to cycling (approx. 10% of that) will compromise the precision.
Not sure if they have even a lower speed one, it would be less useful for them though.

Yep, I'm acutely aware of it and try my best, when I'm wrong I apologise and pull my head in, unlike others.
Lol yeah but seriously though - when have you ever apologised for being a dick under cover of modding?

This thread for a start in relation to the lack of notifications and I've also sent One after an argument when I've been wrong.

Kgt should be self explanatory if you peruse his posts. For example, despite repeated warnings he goes into every aero related thread and posts how X bike race was won on non aero bike and anyone that believes in aero is a shill or sucker for marketing.
While I appreciate and understand the difficulties of the moderator team, I have to say the forum rules are not really helpful. Just reading over the rules, I don't really see any rule that would be broken by the above (which I think is a problem). Maybe they should be updated and instead of all the text about emoticons have a better section about community guidelines? I find that
hackernews is one of the best places to still have respectful discussions. Their are very good as well IMO and can be found
here
Also only three moderators is crazy low, who can add new moderators and why haven't there been new moderators added?

Hambini doesn't tell you the truth but here are some facts , he is engineer rotating equipment at pan oil refinery , he doesn't have a PhD, he never worked for Airbus, he doesn't have any patents (100 patents claimed) . he doesn't have wind tunnel access, only aerodynamic tests he does are simulations on a computer

I'm not a Hambini acolyte, but that's some next level doxxing.

I don't give a rip one way or another about Hambini, but true or false, you should delete this and the identical post you spammed in the other thread today.
I'd also suggest mods ban this individual.

Turns out the sun is hot and water is wet after all.
I’m sure the usual suspects on here will ask for proof.
Water actually isn’t wet
, it can’t be.
