Still no signs of the Klemperer in question.

EDIT-1:



Seems to me like there are very limited opportunities to apply the template to existing and typically flat sided (and rectangular wheel layout) automobiles.

I don't think that I'll even bother considering these limitations, as it will never be perfect. Anyone who does a template overlay must be a misguided fool and totally ignorant to boot, right?:

Is this the official Part-C aero-Template Cross Section?

Squircle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I've always assumed the Part-C aero-template would look like this (see image below) in front view, but I'm still looking for it.

*From the side,the 'Template' is half of a teardrop,minus what is cut away to create the ground clearance.
*When the Template is coming at you,you see a semicircle minus the area removed for its 'ground clearance.
*From above you see a full teardrop.minus the area which was cut away for the ground clearance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The intent of the 'Template' is to provide a safe contour for boat-tailing primarily passenger cars,as they are the majority of vehicles sold.
*based on whatever your starting with,however you can morph it,and integrate it into your vehicle,it would provide a separation-free surface for reducing pressure drag.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As to the overlay,well the problem is that it is perfect.It is the tyranny of singularity.Some people will never lose their attachment to the notion that you'd never find a single solution for drag reduction.
I have some additions I'd like to add to the thread.I've been without transportation for going on 12-weeks now.I hitch a ride into town to come here.When I leave I have a 7-mile walk home.It's a bit awkward to carry materials here and back.
I have every intention to 'complete' the thread.I have no earthly idea when I'll be able to do that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to depart from science go ahead.You're certainly under no obligation to anyone.Perhaps you'll find solutions elsewhere.
Best to you!
