Thanks! Not quite following that. Can you post the references you mention - Hucho and Mair. I haven't been able to find any of Hucho or Mair's papers online.

My background has all been aerodynamics on airplanes. I'm trying to design the best aeroshell for a pu-truck. I'm thinking the 2.5:1 teardrop would not apply since the windshield has already deflected the air upward by the time it hits the shell and the 12-15 degree back sloping shell might be too steep if the airflow has already started to separate.
