*Since the ground is mentioned,this will be a road vehicle?
*If it is a road vehicle,must it contain a source of locomotion along with the occupant?
*It is to be operated only on a closed-course?
*Closed-course vehicles would have a chance to utilize laminar profiles if operating solo,on a dead calm track day.
*The 'laminar' profiles would never work on a real roadway.
*We might mention Reynolds number operating conditions as they affect boundary layer type and both pressure drag and surface friction drag.
