Aerocap for a Tacoma Pickup?
Okay, I've lurked around this forum a bit and found a handful of aerocap or aerolid including Bondo amazing aerolid, sepp's Nissan Aerocap (both versions), electricmans dakato aerocap along with akashic concept on his 1st gen tacoma and even the production version of aero canopies style they offer in Europe.
So I've reviewed many of the aero discussions about the optimal kamm back angle to avoid the dreaded seperation. Originally I was thinking of designing an aerocap with the magically 11-12 degree angle just for simplicity but then began reading the threads about the streamline template. Take a look at the image and let me know if I did that right and what do you think. When I overlay a 12 degree with a small transition curved area, it almost matches the template perfectly.
