We fixed and updated Cell G8 as well as the plot's Data range of the [original ArduPilot Wiki Spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_75aZqiT_K1CdduhUe4-DjRgx3Alun4p8V2pt6vM5P8/edit#gid=0) creating [this corrected version](images/blog/ArduPilot_Motor_Thrust_Fit.ods)

With the air density at the time of testing and the previously calculated ballistic drag coefficient (`EK3_DRAG_BCOEF_X` for front and back, `EK3_DRAG_BCOEF_Y` for left and right side) you can now calculate the bluff body drag, which is 1/2 * air density * airspeed^2 / BCOEF.
