Yeah,you might have to test everything again in ground-effect to adjust for the turbulence and also the effective bluntness caused by the ground plane.

Looked at the article.It's good.And I'm glad they digressed to Rumpler's Tropfenwagen of 1919.
They probably should have shown the Stanley Brothers canoe-based land speed record car of 1906.basjoos was the first to post that one,and we think it's the earliest streamliner reported so far.
