Hollow tails

Katch, That was a image of a "Boater-home" half boat, half semi bus rig I have been working with a client on. Attached is the early RV stream-liner I dreamed up and intended to post, I think the extra height on any big rig is wasted if not for placing the driver. The high visibility is a safety advantage.
My brother is a teacher and his school team won the "Eco-Challenge" for his class in Houston last year. They are working on a Urban concept for this years Challenge and I have consulted regarding the hollow tail to reduce drag and some other issues. I sent him this link and we will post some images soon, to be more relevant here on Ecomodder.
