I'd say you nailed it. So the AeroRV, a Trailer Tail, and the Dryden van all have VERY similar shapes.
Wow, nice graph. When you illustrate it like that it is very interesting how far the Dryden tail and the Aero RV tail are away from the template. I'm not sure, what is the trailer tail? Is that a visual representation of one of those fold-able boat tails you see on semi-truck trailers? The x and y axis are both inches, correct?
