Flat surfaces generate lift just as well as curved surfaces. You need to find some experemental evidence that quantifies the forces and the derection in which they act. Without numbers I am afraid you do not understand the matter/problem before you.

What you need to know is HOW Allerts' bike works so well.

My next iteration of the rear cargo "box" will have curved surfaces...
