So, we're all good then? How about that Morelli Shape?
Morelli got Cd 0.16 off the ground without wheels.
When he chopped the tail it went to Cd 0.161.
When he lowered it onto the ground it went to Cd 0.35.Ouch!
After a bunch of hours in the Pininfarina tunnel they were able to chisel that down to Cd 0.201 for a 'production-ready' vehicle.'
It was a coup in 1978.
It doesn't seem so dramatic today.
Aptera didn't get any spectacular results with it either.Center of gravity is kinda spooky too!
