The left side a) is quite similar to the ideal template we have been working with:



Though the apex is farther back. The Jaray concept bugs me - it seems to be 2D thinking trying to be 3D? The sharp corner at the intersection between the shapes would add drag, by definition, and it requires two distinct "expansions" of the air, which seems less than ideal.
