Won't that make the front even lighter ?
Moving the fire extinguishers inboard but further aft (as suggested by the arrows) will also reduce their mass's leverage.
How about these mods ?
- fairing in the frontal and top area of the wheels, allowing for deformation, extending the arches you've already made
- belly pan underneath the aft part (under the Tipolino shell) extending to beyond the rear end of the wheels ; angling it up aft of the
differential in diffuser style will either reduce drag or reduce lift (Cz) @ higher angles, though adding drag (Cx)
- streamlined fairings on the bottom of the belly pan in front of the massive wheels to direct air away from them, and push the air outboard of the tyres
- vertical plates inboard of the rear wheels to keep the air underneath the body from going into the huge rims.
- lining up & connecting the inside edge of the wheel fairings with the vertical plates further aft will make for a clean setup
- turn the flip-over protector into a streamlined boat tail that's as wide and high as the rear tyres , with a cut-out for the chutes
