"Compressability" is a word that usually shows up in aeronautics at around 500 MPH, although some is alwys present.
Has anyone considered the power used to create the drag reduction? I think the leading object is being given a free ride. Motor paced bicycle records are set using a motorized fairing to set up a pressure differential on the bike, and pedaling to hold position.
