When you say
useful, you mean following conventional wisdom, right?
As pointed out in this thread there are several Japanese hybrids which truncate the arc over the roof at a greater angle than "our template". The reason for this is still being debated, and that debate is healthy in my opinion.
Back when we talked about altering the roof of a +2005 Mustang to fit the template the idea of re-scaling the template for the canopy somehow gained more acceptance than in this thread.
My goal in examining the re-scaling of the template is to discover the exceptions to the rules, not to redefine the rules or aero template.
There is something to be learned here, I just haven't quite figured out what yet.
The Gurney Bubble, wheel blisters and so forth are part of a micro aerodynamic package inside/outside of the overall general aero template.
How large is "micro", and may it include an entire passenger cabin canopy?
Still learning the answer to that one.
