Aerodynamics of a badminton shuttlecock

Experiments were conducted to determine the drag coefficient of a badminton shuttlecock. Two types of testing were conducted: wind tunnel tests of a full-scale model, and drop tests using a high-accuracy radar gun. The drag coefficients calculated from these measurements were then compared to the limited data available in the literature. The range of drag coefficients measured was from 0.55 to 0.65.
