If I can make a request, when it comes time to do a "Part-D", that it be 3D and include cross sectional information.

There was a thread to turn it into 3D, I'll find it later if someone else does not post it first.
Many months ago someone pushed and I went ahead a posted some extra views of the 'Template' I'd been working on.These were just working drawings.
I'm not sure how the thread was even titled.
A literal 'translation' of the 'Template' would be the 1/2-body generated from the 2.5:1 streamlined body of revolution from which it is derived.
It would be 'wide.'
Considering 'conventional ' body dimensions,the plan-view of the 'template' will look more like the low-drag 'section' profile of Hoerner's just to accommodate the more narrow vehicle.
