What are shuttlecocks made out of?

the thing you hit in badminton. What are they made out of NOW.|||Shuttlecocks, are made with an open conical shape with a rounded cork base which is covered with either leather or plastic into which sixteen overlapping goose feathers are embedded. Once the feathers have been thrust into the cork, glue is used to secure the feathers in place. The glue used on some of the professional birdies can take up to a week to dry. Once the glue has dried, the feathers are evenly bound with thread which is also glued into place. The threads can either be placed using machines similar to sewing machines or completed by hand.|||plastic-cork-feathers ;)

Where to buy good badminton shuttlecocks?

i figured a sporting goods store would carry them, but i went to Dick's and could only find birdies that one would play with possibly in their backyard. im fine with the nylon, however if i can find the feathered ones at a store near me (Chicago IL) that would be wonderful as well. nylon's fine as long as i can play a realistic match (the birdies i had bought from Dick's were not realistic in that they would clear the entire court by a mere flick of my wrist)|||Olympus sell feathered ones,.|||Well i was able to buy some at a local walmart so you might want to see if yours carries some too they are a little more expensive though.

Help with how to play badminton?

I have just started playing badminton, but i am unsure about things like:


how the shuttlecock toss helps determine who serves


who serves in doubles and when you have to swap sides with your partner


basic rules


basic techniques etc


Any input and advice would be very much appreciated!|||Ok, see the link below for the simplified rules. I'll cover the some of your other questions here.





Shuttlecock toss: after tossing the shuttlecock, the side the shuttlecock points to determines who will serve first. If the shuttlecock doesn't point to a side or is hard to judge, toss it again.





Serving: the winner of the toss serves first. the side winning the point continues to serve, otherwise service is over. See link for more information.





Swapping sides: you only swap sides with your partner if you are the serving side and you win the point. Receiving side does not swap.





Hope that helps. Good luck.

Try to hit flat with the racket face rather than slicing it. Slicing will destroy a shuttle fast.

What are good badminton strategies?

What are good badminton strategies to get points faster? What are good strategies to get points that makes it almost impossible for opponents to defend themselves and return shuttlecocks?|||That really depends on A LOT of things. Like, Singles or Doubles or Mixed Doubles, how good you and your opponent(s) are.





But really, the main strategy, is to endure a lot longer than they do. Try and hit it to places they aren't and in the end make them run. After you feel they are tired, smash. This is a really vague question...because everyone is different, there is no easy way to beat anyone...unless they have a major disadvantage.





Make them run; Smash; and hit to their backhand.|||As already noted, there is no one answer that works for everyone or for every opponent. However, here are some tips from my coaches that you can try to incorporate into your game:





1. Play an active, not reactive, game.


This means that you should be planning your shots, thinking about where you want to put the bird, evaluating your opponent's weaknesses--not waiting for a shot to get hit to you and then relying on your split-second reflexes to get it back over the net. You will get points much more quickly if you don't waste time losing the serve on easy errors and then having to gain it back.





2. If it works, keep doing it until it stops working. This is a fast way to get points at the start of a game. If your opponent can't get to your drops, keep dropping. If they don't perform well on short serves, don't hit a long one just for fun! Most people will catch on eventually, and then you will need to change your strategy, but you will be several points ahead by that point.





3. Don't be afraid to hit the same shot twice. Conventional wisdom is to vary your placement and speed of hits, and this is very good advice, but if you clear, and your opponent is rushing to the net after returning it, send another clear back there--he won't be ready for it.





And of course, all the other good stuff--footwork is key, drill your heart out, learn to serve flawlessly, etc.--will help too, but the key to getting points quickly is taking advantage of your strengths and exploiting your opponent's weaknesses. Play as many different opponents as you can to gain experience with a variety of styles. Hope this helps!

What is the process to get feather for badminton shuttle cock? how does manufacturers get feather supply?

if anybody can post pictures for manufacturing process of shuttlecock.|||The manufactures partner with franchises that serve fried chicken to produce low quality shuttle-cock.





Highest quality feather for shuttle cock come from swan.





Go and ask peta.com and you might get many videos/clips on that.|||A shuttlecock in my homecountry in Nganjuk, East Java, Indonesia get feather supplies to make shuttlecock from many places. At first, they used feathers from duck or swan from their area, because there was many duck and swans. But because of the flu bird case, it's a rather difficult to get feathers nowadays. They prefer to import it from other countries like Taiwan although their own feather quality is better.





The way of how to make shuttlecock is.


First the feathers gathered are washed and dried under the sun. Then they are selected to get best quality feathers. The good feathers are cut and then tied by a thread and glued. The glued feather is put into a cork head. Then they were pressed by to make them stay in the place. Then the shuttlecock is tested through a quality control. At last they are collected in 12 pieces.|||can i ask you something? why do you need to know? curious or what? if you are doing some research for work or school, look up google or yahoo search! dun slack and depend on us to do the research for you! do it yourself! this kind of information can be found if you do some research!!

When i play badminton, i try to "smack" hard to the end of my opponent but doesn't go far. My strength?

is strong but it seem that the shuttlecock only reach middle of court. Is it something wrong with my badminton or simply i took weak? when i compare other players, their strength is abt same as mine but they managed to hit far back. why is that so?|||well there are diffreent types of smashes. For example, there are the deep smash, the mid court smash and the slice smash. The diffrence between these three are simply the angle or contact point. If you hit the birdie more infront, you will get more angle thus deeper. For your example, you are hitting it closer to you therefore in the middle. If you hit it right above you, you will get a deep smash. It is all about the contact point! Good Luck!|||its your form kind sir, you must make a sweeping under hand motion and hit the shuttlecock right on the nose. that will generate a correct floating flight path!

How can I do a smash in badminton?

I play badminton but I have a major weakness. i can run around and get all the shuttlecocks and hit them back, but I cannot do smashes! Every time I try to hit it hard, it goes UP into the air really high, and then the other person smashes it down.





How do I do a good smash?|||sounds like you aren't time your smash correctly and also the angle that you are hitting the shuttlecock is not correct.





make sure that you are behind the shuttlecock when ur doing your smash and that the point of contact to the shuttlecock should be about the 1 o'clock position (given that 12 o'clock is straight up). also you sometimes need to give your wrist a flick just to make sure ur racket head is facing downwards while doing the smash...





just practise it and it will come to you... i can tell you that i'm still a beginner and i had the same problem as you until someone told me how to get it right... tho still i can't get the smash right some times and it comes with lots of practise

A racket and 4 shuttlecocks cost $13. The racket costs $5.50 more than shuttlecock. Find cost of a shuttlecock

"A racket and 4 shuttlecocks cost $13."





r + 4s = $13





"The racket costs $5.50 more than shuttlecock."





r = s + $5.50





Substitute in the first equation:





(s + $5.50) + 4s = $13.00





5s = $7.50





s = $1.50





So a shuttlecock costs $1.50. And then, even tho the problem doesn't ask for it:





r = $1.50 + $5.50 = $7





A racket costs $7.|||let r be the racket and s be the shuttlecock





r + 4s = 13


r = s + 5.5





(s + 5.50) + 4s = 13 (substitute)





5s + 5.50 = 13 (combine like terms)


- 5.50 -5.50





5s = 7.50


/5 /5 divide by 5 to get s by itself





s = $1.50





r = s + 5.50





r = 1.50 + 5.50


r = $7





shuttlecocks are $1.50 each($6 for 4) and the racket is $7, which would total $13.





Look in the index of your book under "Systems of Equations" or "Equations - Systems of", then look for "Substitution".|||If all five pieces cost $13, then say that the r = racket and s = shuttlecock





So, r + 4s = 13


and, if the racket is $5.50 more than one shuttlecock,


then r = s + 5.5





Substitue the second equation into the first because it is already solved for one variable (r):


s + 5.5 + 4s = 13


5s + 5.5 = 13


5s = 13 - 5.5 = 7.5


s = 7.5 / 5 = 1.5





So, the shuttlecocks each cost $1.50 and the racket is $7.00|||let r=racket


s=shuttlecock





r+4s=13


r=5.50+s





(5.50+s)+4s=13


4s=13-(5.5+s)


4s=13-5.5-s


s+4s=13-5.5


5s=7.5


s=1.5





to check


r=5.5+s


r=5.5+1.5


r=7





r+4s=13


7+4(1.5)=13


7+6=13


13=13|||R+4S=13


R= S+5.50 so going to the first 5S +5.50=13 ==%26gt;5S = 7,50 and





S=1.50 R=7.00

Shuttlecock speeds??

I know this not a tennis question, but there is no badminton section and I've had no answer from "sports-general". Can anyone explain to me the uses and advantages or otherwise of the different shuttlecocks available on the market. Much obliged, thank you|||Feathered vs. synthetic shuttlecocks





The feathers are brittle; shuttlecocks break easily and often need to be replaced several times during a game. For this reason, synthetic shuttlecocks have been developed that replace the feathers with a plastic skirt. Players often refer to synthetic shuttlecocks as plastics and feathered shuttlecocks as feathers.





The cost of good quality feathers is similar to that of good quality plastics, but plastics are far more durable, typically lasting many matches without any impairment to their flight. For this reason, many clubs prefer to play with plastics.





The playing characteristics of plastics and feathers are substantially different. Plastics fly more slowly on initial impact, but slow down less towards the end of their flight. Feather shuttles may come off the strings at speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph) but slow down faster as they drop. For this reason, feather shuttle make the game seem faster but also allow more time to play strokes.





Most experienced and skillful players greatly prefer feathers, and serious tournaments or leagues are almost always played using feather shuttlecocks. Experienced players generally prefer the "feel" of feathered shuttlecocks, and assert that they are better able to control the flight of feathers than of plastics. Because feather shuttles fly more quickly off the racquet face they also tend to cause less shoulder impact and injury. In Asia, where feather shuttlecocks are more affordable than in Europe and North America, plastic shuttlecocks are hardly used at all. All senior international tournaments use only feather shuttlecocks of the highest quality.

The pipe is connected with the lower base, and the upper base cases the pipe on the top. Three washers made of hard and thin leather or similar material are between the upper and the lower base. The rubber base is 1.30 - 1.50 cm in thickness with the diameter of 3.84 - 4.00 cm. The height of the pipe for the feathers is 2.50 cm. The height of the shuttlecock is 13 - 15 cm and the weight of it is 13 - 15 g.|||the weights of shuttlecock its 0,01 gram. depends on brands.

Should I wear my glasses when I play sports?

Ok, so I need glasses but I don't wear them for sport. When I play badminton, and try to focus on the shuttlecock, I get a really bad headache and my eyes feel weird. This has been happening for sometime now. Should I start wearing my glasses for sport?|||This really depends on how good your vision is without them and what sport you are playing. If you are playing golf, then eyeglasses would be ok because there is real physical contact and you are not jumping or running. In Badminton there is a chance of physical contact and you are running and jumping so there is possibly that your eyeglasses could come off and be damaged. I suggest getting contact lenses in your case.|||It's best to not wear glasses when doing sports especially if it's very active or physical. When doing active sports you'll sweat a lot, so your glasses will get misty. For physical sports, you have less peripheral vision to watch out for tackles from other players. Contacts is a better option. Of course, you can improve your eyesight using eye exercises, so you won't have to worry about wearing contacts nor glasses in sports. Plenty of websites have information on this.|||Maybe your prescription is high or it has changed so I'd advice you to wear them and have a checkup at the eye doctor's. If you want to be more comfortable, get daily contact lenses, and wear them every time you go for sports.

Flight of a shuttlecock?

During a game of badminton i was watching how the base always faces the racket. Also the plastic ones dont spin but the feathers do. Would anyone like to comment on The physics of this.|||Key to both is drag, air friction, which is D = 1/2 rho Cd A v^2 = kA v^2; where rho is air density, Cd is coefficient of drag, A is cross sectional area, and v is the air speed over the moving body (or the speed of the body through still air). The drag on a shuttlecock is relatively high because A is a relatively large cross sectional area established by the plastic cup or feathers of the trailing end.





And because the weight of a shuttlecock is light, it quickly reaches terminal speed v = sqrt(w/kA) where w = mg is the weight of the shuttlecock's mass m. g is g. This is why, in badminton, we don't see really fast speeds, like 120 mph in tennis serves. In fact, the drag acts as a braking force to actually bring the shuttlecock to a near (but not quite) halt in horizontal speed. At which time it falls nearly vertically to the gym floor.





As to the spinning of the feathered kind, that's because the feathers are not flat with the flow of air over them. They are twisted slightly like fan blades. So the change in momentum of the air flowing over the feather blades causes a twisting force on the shuttlecock.





The plastic cup, on the other hand, has no such blade shape or other form to cause the air flow to change momentum and cause a twisting force. The cup has holes, to modify the A value so it matches the regulation drag value of the feathered variety, but that's it.|||Physics is everywhere because mass and energy are everywhere... physics is the study and understanding of mass and energy.

Which is better to use when playing with a shuttlecock???

A racket or your bare hand|||my bare hand|||A partner.





When serving, your partner should bend over at the waist and wait for you to deliver the shuttlecock to your oponents. This is to prevent having the shuttle cock knock into the back of her head. An alternative position is to have your partner bend her knees slightly and drop her waist down until the shuttlecock has been delivered into the opponents court.





When playing by yourself, be sure to visualize what your shuttlecock will be doing to your opponent so that you can achieve the most advantagous serve. Your aim should be to use enough speed to catch your opponent off guard so you can drive your shuttlecock deep into her court and watch with pleasure when she moans over missing her return volley. Of course you could aim for an ace, but that is a rather difficult and tight delivery and really depends on your opponents stance.|||while your bare hand may provide for a much more intimate game, i'd say a racket


because it makes a nice "poing" sound

Where can I buy Chinese feathered shuttlecocks?

I'm looking for Chinese kicking shuttlecocks but I cannot find them at any store (like Dollar Tree, Michaels, ...) except online. Does anyone know where I can get them?|||Using the Internet, you can look up nearby Chinese supermarkets, which will usually have them. However, if you cannot find a Chinese supermarket nearby, you could just make your own easily! I have made my own shuttlecocks by taking a couple of quarters and binding them with string so they will not fall apart. Then I take fake colorful feathers and super glue them to the top of the stack of quarters firmly. As an extra adhesive, I painted over the glue with clear nail polish which held the feathers nicely! Either way, I hope this solved your question! :)

How do you serve in Badminton?

Whenever I try to serve, I miss the shuttlecock and it just falls down - my instructors saying something about my wrist but I don't understand him.





But if I use a Bat Tennis Bat, I can hit it great but not with the Badminton Racquet.





Thanks if you can help!|||I would start by holding the shuttlecock still by the feathers or skirt wide end. The base or round narrow and small part should point down with the holding arm stretched down in front and tilted toward the racket side. When you serve, just simply move the racket from behind and forward to use the string part to hit the round part of the shuttle cork. Use the follow through motion as well.


You should not miss the shuttle, because it is stationary.


Once you master this by hitting it nicely over the net landing where you aim, then you can hold the shuttlecock a little higher. This time just drop it before the racket hit the shuttle. You can progressively drop higher and higher or let it drop for a longer time before the racket hits the shuttle.


You can of course do this with your backhand. Some may find it easier to serve with the backhand. In general, you just hold the shuttle still when serving with the backhand.


Please note that your racket head has to be lower than your hitting hand to be a legal service.


Good luck.

In Badminton...|||The "shuttle" part of the name was probably derived from its back-and-forth motion during the game, resembling the shuttle of a loom; the "cocke" part of the name was probably derived from the resemblance of the feathers to a bird's crest.|||The name in badminton was taken from the name of the similar "target item" in an older game.

thanksxx|||Badminton is as popular as lawn tennis (when ‘popular’ is defined by the number of adults who play the game). Indeed, the origin of the game, played with a feather shuttlecock, in the mid-19th century is said to predate lawn tennis. The invention of the cheaper, more durable synthetic shuttlecock in the 1950s gave the game a wider appeal. Yet, manufacturers have still to produce a synthetic shuttlecock that exactly mirrors the flight of the feather shuttlecock during the game of badminton, a goal they have striving to reach for over 40 years.





This paper describes experiments which were devised to understand the flow regime around a shuttlecock and to accurately determine a data set of aerodynamic coefficients for selected feather and synthetic shuttlecocks. The drag, lift and pitching moment coefficients were measured for a range of Reynolds Numbers (based on maximum skirt diameter) selected to cover most velocities reached in a badminton game; 13 000 %26lt; Re %26lt; 190 000 (3 to 44 m s–1). The results form part of a wider programme of research which examined the differences between feather and synthetic shuttlecocks and ultimately led to a new product.|||do you have any data values for this?

Hit in the eye with shuttlecock.?

A few hours ago I was playing badminton and was hit in my right eye by a shuttlecock going quite fast.


My eye has a little bit of discomfort but im slightly concerned as there seems to be some sort of bluish/black tint going around on the white of eye.


What are your thoughts on this?





Thanks|||The "white of the eye" is called the sclera, but before the sclera there is actually a thin translucent moist skin of the eye which is called the conjunctiva. Underneath the sclera is the choroid which is bluish black in color.





There could be several reasons for the bluish, black discoloration. One of the "safer" ones could be because there is a thin hematoma underneath the conjunctiva which is consistent with being hit by a shuttlecock. Another more serious reason could be thinning of the sclera which has nothing to do with the shuttlecock.





Either way, you should get a proper evaluation since trauma to the eye can cause, retinal detachment, hyphema (blood in the front part of the eye) and cataracts later on, just to name a few. I think you would sleep better if YOU KNEW for a fact that the shuttlecock did not cause much damage and you can only confirm this with a ophthalmologic consultation.





IT IS ALWAYS a good idea to wear protective eye wear when playing fast-paced projectile related sports such as badminton.|||I think you should have a doctor look at it. Your eyes are nothing to mess with. Good Luck!|||I wouldn't mess around tryin to guess if there is a problem especially with the discoloration. You might want to get to an emergency room.

In badminton if the shuttlecock touches the net on a serve is it in or out?

It's not considered a let.


If it reaches the line, then it's in. If it doesn't it's short.


But players do usually apologize it the shuttlecock touches the net and still goes in.





Lets only happen when:


- shuttlecock is suspended on the net, doesn't move on the net, is stuck on the net


- during service, the receiver and the server are both faulted


- during play, the rubber part of the shuttlecock separates from the feathers


- the line judge isn't sure and the umpire can't make a decision

If you were hit in the stomach by a shuttlecock travelling at 200mph would it hurt?

Maximum speed ever recorded for a shuttlecock was 201 mph, so there aren't too many of them flying about, they are not that heavy so the most you are likely to get is a decent bruise.|||I would imagine if you were stationary then it would almost definetley enter you


Baz|||UHHHH! Gasp!|||i think getting hit in the c**k but a shuttle would hurt more|||it would stink a little because the mass weight of the shuttlecock is not that much and the stomach having give to a degree in it.


at the point of impact the shuttlecock would decrees in speed very quickly therefore no great pain would be felt other then short stink.

I think that a shuttlecock that hit me at 200mph would cause pain and a bit of bruising.|||Of course it would.


Mum was hit in the eye by a shuttlecock and had to lie as still as possible for the following week, so that her retina did not detach. It also caused her to have a catarct. So all in all, it would hurt, and if it can do that to an eye, could possibly cause problems other than bruising if one hit you in the stomach..|||Force = Mass x Speed doesn't it? I imagine it would bloody hurt.|||Nope. You'll be in too much shock :) I'm sure you can find a volunteer to try it out for you lol.... xx|||i would think so!|||its tiny and i doubt you could get a shuttlecock up to that kind of speed due to the drag on the feathers


i would imagine it to be a little uncomfortable but i doubt its a trip to the doctors jobbie!|||i would say yes anything coming at you at 200mph is gonna hurt. well maybe not a feather|||depends on whether you had good strong stomach muscles|||Unless you were traveling backwards at about 100 mph then of course it would bloody hurt !.

Which is faster, a tennis ball, table tennis ball or shuttlecock smack?

Shuttlecock smacks have been measured much faster than even Andy Roddick's serves.

Why did shuttlecock rotates after been hited?

can anyone explain, using physics concept.thanks|||It's the same reason an arrow flies point-first and an airplane flies nose-first. If the flight attitude is initially sideways, there is air pressure from the side. The center of pressure is further back than the center of mass, which is near the front. The result is that the sidewind pressure produces a torque on the shuttlecock in the direction to turn the nose forward into the wind, and any deviation from this attitude is corrected by the same effect. This is sometimes referred to as "weathervane" stability, and is essential for most human- or passively-controlled flying objects such as rockets.|||TU

Types of feather shuttlecock?

I've been playing badminton with a plastic shuttlecock for a while and wanted to try a feather one ... I've seen most people using Yonex Aerosensa shuttlecocks so I thought I'd try them... the thing is that I don't undertand what the number at the end means ... you can get Yonex Aerosensa 30 feather shuttlecocks or Yonex Aerosensa 20 feather shuttlecocks or Aerosensa 10s. What does the 30, 20 and 10 mean? Is it the number of feathers and what difference does it make to the shuttlecock?|||With reference to the 10, 20, 30, %26amp; 50 on the shuttlecocks, The higher the number, the higher the quality and price.


10 and 20 use duck feathers; 30 and 50 use goose feathers.





There is a difference in speed.


But ( and without being patronising) an Amatuer wouldn't notice much ( If any ) difference.

Why shuttlecock always price increase every month in malaysia?

feather shortages?


shuttlecocks are made in other countries and Malaysia is increasing import tax?


A rise in demand for Badminton?





WHO KNOWS?|||prices increase anywhere because people want more money.|||Well, i guess this is the theory of supply and demand, the supply of goose feathers are lesser recently due to the shortage of goose..this shortage of goose might be caused by certain problems like bird flu or so...Besides that, the demand for shuttlecocks is getting more n more due to the increase in the number of ppl taking up badminton as their hobbies....


I hope the price of shuttlecocks will come down soon...hehe|||Because of .... the recent chicken price increase?...probably..





Just kidding... I think this is supply and demand issues, and also the fact that cost of living increases... therefore, end-sellers, middlemen and distributers also want to increase their takes.|||There can be a lot of reasons. But the way I sense it, it is for economic reason. Applying the law of supply and demand.

The full width of the court is 6.1 metres (20 ft), and in singles this width is reduced to 5.18 metres (17 ft). The full length of the court is 13.4 metres (44 ft). The service courts are marked by a centre line dividing the width of the court, by a short service line at a distance of 1.98 metres (6.5 ft) from the net, and by the outer side and back boundaries.

What is the standard weight of a shuttlecock in badminton?

heres the list of standards...............................鈥?br>

international-metric wt.-grain - speed


1 ------------- 48 ---- 75 - slow, for use in highland


2 ------------- 49 ---- 76 - medium slow, for use in hotter area


3 ------------- 50 ---- 77 - medium, most sea level area


4 ------------- 51 ---- 78 - medium fast, cold area


5 ------------- 52 ---- 79 - fast, cold area, below sea level





From the list, you can see that the shuttles were traditionally divided into 48, 49, 50, 51, 52 according to the weight of the shuttles. 49 weights 4.9g, 50 means 5.0g, 51 means 5.1g and so on

Hit in mouth with shuttlecock and now my lip is so painful?

I was hit by a really fast smash at close proximity in my badminton match the other day. She got me right in the mouth after jump smashing me from about a metre away. It's been a few days, nothing's bleeding but the inside of my upper lip is really red and sore. it's actually grown more painful today and when i touch it i can feel something rolling around, like a small ball rolling around inside my lip. anyone know what it is?|||hello Lexia,


It seems you have a CONTUSION or a HEMATOMA. It is just a collection of blood that had seeped into the tissues due rupture of a tiny blood vessel by the blunt trauma.





The soft tissues with little solid support from a nearby bone or cartilage are especially more prone for contusions, and our facial tissue in particularly has a rich blood supply and is not anchored to underlying bones.





A contusion goes thru' a series of colour changes from red - brown - yellow - green - blue , etc. that may or may not be visible thru skin or mucous membrane of oral cavity.





The feeling of rolling around when palpated with hand means it is GETTING ORGANISED, that means the scavenger cells in your blood had rounded it up and started cleaning the debis of oozed out and clotted blood.





Since there was no bleeding, meaning the mucous membrane of mouth was intact, and microbes could not have colonised it to form an infection. (hematomas could get infected) Still you watch out for signs of elevated body temperature, malaise (vague feeling of dullness that cannot be attributed to physical exertion), constant dull throbbing pain (not the sharp pain that you get whie you touch it) would point towards an ABSCESS|||It is just swollen, I think. It will clear up in a few days.

Are there any shuttlecock that are not affected by windy conditions?

I need to know how to work out drag coefficient of shuttlecock?

what you need is a wind tunnel, not the internet. But I guess you don't have that.





The drag coefficient is one thing; the characteristic length is something else. You need those two numbers in a pair.





Your characteristic length *may* be the diameter of the base of the shuttle, and your drag coefficient would be whatever you find in a book for a flat disc shape travelling in the difficult direction.





The pointy bit of the shuttle isn't having much effect here.





The holes probably reduce the drag in comparison with the disc because they inject turbulence into the wake and help the wake to recover behind the shuttle.
