Fig. 8. Lift coefficients CL (A), drag coefficients CD (B), and pitching moment coefficients about the center of mass CM (C) for four boxfishes (smooth trunkfish, buffalo trunkfish, scrawled cowfish and spotted boxfish) positioned at various pitch angles. In A, CL values for a delta wing of similar aspect ratio (0.83) to that of the boxfishes are also depicted. Delta wing data are from Schlichting and Truckenbrodt (1969), and smooth trunkfish data are from Bartol et al. (2003). Positive CM values indicate a nose-down pitching moment about the center of mass, whereas negative CM values indicate a nose-up pitching moment about the center of mass.
