Stock part drag for various configurations

Recommended Posts

The kerbal wiki gives drag coefficients for certain parts, but I'm not sure if I am interpreting them correctly. Is there a difference in these two configurations in terms of drag? (pointy end pointing forward in both examples)

  2. http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Mk2_to_1.25m_Adapter + http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Mk2_Rocket_Fuel_Fuselage_Short

How about this:

Those drag values are deprecated, they're from the old aero model. Now you need to look at drag cubes, most of which are stored in PartDatabase.cfg.

Is there a place to view that online, or do I need to wait to go home and pick through the KSP directory to find it?
