Hi Aero Guys.
I’ve been reading about Duck Tails attached to the trailing edge of pickup truck cabs and even Semi rig trailers. My question is looking at this picture do you think a duck tail would help me? The issue is the cap has this 1”-2” lip that runs across the trailing edge. Actually the lip is part of the contour changes in the top to give it strength.
Thanks for any ideas.
