leading edges will be next

In plan view APEX' corners have zero radius.
I've been collecting large radii structures to use as molds for wet layups.
An awning company could also roll square aluminum tubing and heli-arc it into an Airstream-esque birdcage framework onto which tailored awning fabric could be attached forming a very light,hollow nose cavity add-on.
Awnings stand up to Texas thunderstorms all the time.I see no reason why they wouldn't do fine on the face of a trailer.
Anyway,when time avails itself,I'll get into this one.
We're also going to do a fairing for the rooftop AC unit as orbywan has done.
