aerodynamics study of a towed body
 

I will shortly be commencing the study of the aerodynamics of a body towed behind an aircraft. The object is called a 'bird' and is used in airborne electromagnetic surveying. The bird has a standard aerodynamic teardrop shaped body with a high drag tail.

Any recommendations of - relevant literature - researchers in the area - previous work on this topic - software specific for this sort of work would be much appreciated.
