This might be considered a drag reduction maximum for front wheel enclosure.Don't know.There's so little empirical data for such things.
It's a sure bet though,that the rectilinear flow on AeroCivic is going to produce about the best sink flow we could imagine.Not only is all the pick and shovel streamlining accomplished,basjoos has worked down into the macro-flow environment.
And it tells at the gas pump. 
It's the gold standard so far as I've seen! |
Just curious...do you refer to the 1983 Ford Probe IV concept car?
Or the 1985 Ford Probe V concept car?
Not that it makes much difference...
