C. PROGRAM APPROACH

1. Guidelines and Assumptions:

It is the intent of CHO to offer a complete program, one which will take
full advantage of the resources and experience of Chrysler Engineering Office (CEO),
yet will require minimum supervision and coordination effort from them. The nature of
the task is such that it is felt a three phase program is justified. Such an arrangement
will allow maximum interflow of data and knowledge and will allow continually changing
requirements to be integrated into the program with minimum effort. The proposed
phases are:

Phase I - Study and Conceptual Design

Phase H - Test Planning, Model Design and Construction

Phase HI - Test Conduction, Data Reduction and Analysis
and Report Publication

At the conclusion of each phase, an informal report will be prepared summarizing the work
completed to date. In addition, a meeting will be held between CHO and CEO to review
progress and to ensure agreement on future work plans. A final report will be written
summarizing the entire program.

During the project, close liaison will be continually maintained with CEO
personnel to stay cognizant of test requirements. It is recognized that stylists cannot
predict today what they will create tomorrow. However, they can foresee certain styling
trends which will be beneficial to engineering planning and which will enhance the problem
of determining wind tunnel test parameters. Therefore, a close working arrangement
will be established and maintained with the styling office.

2. Phase I - Study and Conceptual Design:

To insure that the most information will be gained from this program, it is
proposed that initially several studies be conducted. Oftentimes many dollars can be saved
in wind tunnel testing by first conducting a thorough literature search. If specific answers
aren't uncovered in the search, sufficient information is gained to establish a firm base line
for tests and to provide an insight toward proper trends. Thereby, the number of data points
required during tests can be reduced, reducing the test time accordingly.

CHO has access to Redstone Scientific Information Center (RSIC), one of the
largest technical libraries to be found in this country. Through it, access can be gained
to Defense Documentation Center (DDC), Scientific Technical Abstract Review (STAR) and
other large governmental agencies which specialize in scientific information services.
Computer searches can and will be performed by these agencies for CHO to obtain pertinent
information covering the past ten years on the general subjects of automobile aerodynamics
