It's easy to forget this is a real paper.

I can’t read the image text clearly(I’m on Memmy app). Is it more or less aerodynamic to have bigger boobs?
Edit. Found the link to research paper thanks to - “Successful_Try543”
In the section 5. Summary and recommendations
The normal model is big boobs
“the Normal model provides advantageously lower drag and lift by the gen-eration of stronger vortices from the legs, which in turn originates from the action of the breasts redirecting the flow around the torso. From what has been presented in this preliminary work, it is safe to conclude that the phrase “Flat is Justice” is deficient aerodynamically.” page 12
So yes, the bigger boobs are in fact more aerodynamic than flat chest.
Link to research paper -
It bothers me that the chosen position for the tests in the research paper is the T-pose. That would be like testing the aerodynamics of two cars with different bumpers while also having all the doors wide open. Just doesn't make sense.
Give me a neutral posture, a mid walk stride, and lastly the superman flight pose, least realistic but most in need of answering in my opinion. Side note: I want a research paper breakdown of the different superman poses to determine which is best.
If you wanted to have the aerodynamics tested with wind hitting the body from the front like the original test then the legs should also be spread (stop what you're thinking pervert) in the fashion of a skydivers neutral position.
I love the Acknowledgments
