The Wolfram Demonstrations Projecthttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/1962This Demonstration shows a class of nonconvex bodies that maximize resistance as they move forward while slowly rotating through a rarefied medium. This class of shapes yields a resistance very close to the theoretical maximum, improving all previous results found by the authors.engBody of maximal resistanceNewton’s aerodynamic problemworking paper
