Lobster-Inspired GasPod Airfoils Could Give Cars a Fuel Efficiency Boost
Wow, lobsters - who would have thought!?! The ultimate model for efficient aerodynamics.

But maybe a creature that lives in the air would be more suitable to study. How about scorpions? Similar shape to lobsters & maybe move just as fast? Imagine a world where we could all have cars as aerodynamically efficient as lobsters, or eventually scorpions!! SCORPION PODS!!!!
