Is this is what happens when you don't assume a spherical cow?

I thought you're supposed to assume a vacuum.
Assume both otherwise we have to face center of gravity issues.
Maybe let the cow be a point mass?
That does tend to simplify the aerodynamics modeling
they forgot to model the ~~aero~~methane-spike from the cow fart.
I mean it definitely reduces over all drag.
If we install a nozzle with a check valve leaving the methane out but no flames in, we could build pulse jet driven bionic cows.
This wouldn’t change the aerodynamics at all but definitely increase the cows speed and reduce the global warming effect a bit
Calculations are simpler if …….. you assume a spherical cow!
That is an assumption that a physicist would do.
Cows can only be assumed to be spherical for thermodynamic purposes.
As they say, knowledge is power, France is bacon.
Reminds me of this gem
Thanks. If anyone in the future asks my opinion regarding breast size, I can safely say that a preliminary study has shown that, aerodynamically speaking, it is better to have large breasts.
Only if you’re facing the wind directly. In other orientations it may not be ideal. The analysis appears incomplete.
Allright, another qualifier to my statement it is. 😅
This is fantastic, lol
This is udderly ridiculous
Makes it look like this cow is speedy as fuck
i need to know its power level.
Is its drag coefficient better than a modern day SUV's?
Everything is better than modern day SUVs
It's fuel efficiency sure is.
Definitely better than a Jeep Wrangler.

But is it more aerodynamic than a brick?
"...and at the quarter turn, odds fav Merry Bell is running a full length behind Morning Milk. Morning Milk won the Nickel Pasture Jaunt last week..."
Turbulence in da ass
Fetchez la vache!
It helps you aim when you decide to pull a Genghis Khan and launch them from catapults at your enemies
This is why my plan to put wings and a rocket on a cow actually made sense!
Take that, you luddite aspca goons! That cow would have revolutionized human travel!
I know what to do with this information!
Rotate it in my mind. It’s free. No one can stop me.
You are steered for takeoff.
Will this increase the quality of our weather and climate models?
Mmmm, yes; science is most excellent: Ballistic Beef™
