I wish I could slam image stuff like that out on the net.It's exactly what Christ is talking about,and anyone looking,will come immediately up to speed on the discussion.------------- Each of those steps will have a locked-vortex over which the surrounding air will flow.You will lose some energy due to the circulation,however there should be a net drag reduction.---------Continuum Dynamics did this sort of thing with an 18-wheeler,and with single panels.The more panels,the smaller the steps.At an infinite number of panels you have the smooth curve.------ This step thing will be heavier but will be very simple to construct.Thanks much for the image!
