Abstract

See full text

An aerodynamic suit for improved athletic performance, and a method of manufacturing the suit. Each body segment is assigned a Reynolds number based upon the velocity and size of the body segment. Each body segment has an appropriate textile assigned to it. The texture of the textile is appropriate to the Reynolds number. As a result, each body segment should go through transition simultaneously during the athletic event. The limbs of the suit are preferably cut so that the seams between the limbs and the rest of the suit are at angles parallel to the direction of movement when at estimated maximum velocity to thereby reduce creases and aerodynamic drag resulting therefrom.
