And those same forces aren't acting on "blisters"? Or even the comparable zone on, say, an Aptera?

If you're saying the high pressure bubble isn't a source of drag, you might as well say the low pressure bubble at the back of a vehicle isn't a source of drag. So does that mean boattails are useless??
