the f-duct was intended

simply to be a reference to a contemporary ducting system, just to let ppl know that ducts other than those intended to cool brakes, exist.
i am not interested in copying or replicating it.
i am shooting for a freeflowing environment, no negative or positive lift,
no wings unless they prove advantageous in some odd way.

the inherent design of the f-duct forces airflow to make directional corrections numerous times, i would like to go relatively straight, the way the air naturally wants to go, as much as possible.

donee, did you have an opportunity to see the jetta http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...html#post73478 airflow simulation of a duct shot through a 2D model. did you see what it did to the wake, usually landvehicles biggest trouble spot but particularly pronounced on large vehicles?
longtail endurance racers would struggle to shoot for such a wake!
