Kurven?? Kruemmungen?? - Explanation: STRAK smooth outline of a body moving in a fluid could be for a boat -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-04-02 20:41:08 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Alan, Although there is a reference in KudoZ quoting curve data - I have the feeling STRAK comes from \'Stromlinienform\' - they are designing \'streamlined bodies\'. Can\'t think what the rest stands for. |

It's thus orignally a boatbuilder's term and Plattdeutsch. It doesn't seem be used any more in boatbuilding, but it is common in aircraft design. Here it is often used to refer not to just a single line, but also a collection of lines that defines the (external) form of a closed object (such as an airfoil or aircraft fuselage).
