I have posted my fairing design photos on Photo Bucket under 'wgconnor'. The URL is Pictures by wgconnor - Photobucket Let me know if this brings up my three albums. These pics are mainly of fairings for street use up to 30 mph. An upright rider in the aero position has about the same frontal area as a recumbent according to the chart in Scientific American (p. 150 Dec. 1983). A fairing in the shape of a 4:1 body of rotation with a 25% kamm cut could be very competitative with a lower weight.
