Thanks, I saved it as '-->Scan12' so I can find it again.

One would think the only caveat on the forebody would be that it not set up adverse streamlines. I need a word that means 'rotational around the axis in the direction of travel'. Or would those smooth out under the soothing effect of the afterbody?

Wasn't it Tesla that was trying to find a mathematical description of that curve?
