I don't think a flat front end is 'ideal' shouldn't it be more rain droppish?
Refer to Mr. Vetter's "Rifle" body fairing.

The nose isn't quite blunt in that design, but the wind isn't really concerned about where it separates, so much as how it comes back together.

While a more rounded nose would be more "ideal", the design doesn't lend itself to use in this case, at least not as easily.

I'm sure there will be refining and tweaking as the design goes from digital to real.
