Glad you enjoyed the thesis KB.

Captain Williams put alot of work into it. Years ago I always thought it was optimization of frontal surfaces which allow for a low Cd. I was way off base, it is what you leave behind as you pass through the atmosphere that matters.

The Aerolid was designed with functionality in mind. The fact that it deploys into a camper shell configuration (and can be driven at freeway speeds raised up) and that the roof can easily be removed, allows for extra utility of the truck bed. Below are a couple of pictures (you have probably seen before).

You said in an earlier post you are an Engineer. Good for you. We need more Engineers in this country today.

You also stated you drive a Tundra. I am looking to tool up for a Tundra. If I can be of any help in anyway on your upcoming project let me know.
