And so it's my humble opinion,that we've had enough testing. We've tested the thing to death. And it always delivers the lowest drag (for a car you can walk up to,open a door,and get in or out of,without a bunch of teammates to help).  |
Not to pick on a point I've labored already on, but all of this theory and testing has involved a half round sectional shape, and not a rectangle which road cars use.
If there is a template based on a square/rectangle in section
and plan, then this is the one we should be referencing, and not something off a blimp...........in my humble opinion.
