Project Update #8 most recent photos ( fairings )
I've roughed in the driver side of the trailer and you'll be able to see where I'm going with the fairings.
The wheel and leaf-spring fairing length are limited by the 22-degree Mair' convergence angle of the body,extending as "far" as the body behind them.
The innermost fairing is really a strake,to give me additional aerodynamic "mass" terminating at the actual tail.
All the fairings respect the SAE minimum "approach","break-over",and "departure" angles,with a terminal slope up from the rear of the tires at 10-degrees.Theoretically,I should never suffer a ground strike with these angles.
I took photos both with and without the tail to help me "think" about the fin.I need something to be able to see the trailer in the mirror.With the under-body "fin" area I need less topside.
