Many years ago I read a Popular Science article about making planes and trucks more aerodynamic by compressing air and releasing it in strategic locations. The article sounded like the theory was successfully tested, although I have not heard of it since, and would not have any idea how to track down the article. I looked through the first hundred Google results for "plane truck compressed air Popular Science" and, of course, it was a waste of my time.

I was just thinking though, if a low-pressure zone, like the bottom of your windshield, increases drag, and so does a high-pressure zone that pretend Ecomodders have on their side mirrors, would there be any gain by piping air from the top of the hood to around the mirrors. How much of the wake could you fill?

These are the things on my mind when I try studying for finals...
