The Cg on a trike projected as a 45 degree cone to the ground forms a circle, and that circle *must* be within the triangle formed by the tire contact patches. This DeltaWing is technically not a trike, but it might as well be. Under hard braking and hard cornering at the same time would really threaten the stability of this layout.
It is odd that *both* the stability and the aerodynamics would be better if the two (widely spaced) wheels were in the front. Then the wheelbase could be shorter because the weight shift under hard braking and hard cornering would move the Cg closer to the wide track wheels and this would be far more stable.
