Correct me if I'm wrong, but a wedge nose acts as a deflector or diverter in which the air pressure for air mass adhesion is not allowed to build up to sufficient levels.

The result is that the first thing after the nose the air mass hits is the windshield, making windshield design all the more important.

I'm just floating thoughts out there.

Because of radiator grill openings and other design flaws, the heavy lifting of pressure build up is done by the windshield typically?

Example of my thoughts expressed in form: Saab 99 Turbo
