"Is the human body more aerodynamic, head first, or feet first?" 

Why don't you do an A-B test with a stopwatch jumping outa a plane and report back to us?

Luge is done feet first.


Skeleton is done head first.


According to Wikipedia, Skeleton is faster.

Not knowing anything about either sport, I can only guess
that aero drag determines the speed difference between the two.

I guess the answer is "a Secret" .

Skeleton is faster than luge because of the running start as opposed to sitting and pulling with arm strength ... Not sure which has better aero but I can ask my nephew John Daly ...
