If there were any content in the other threads the mods can combine (or separate) them.
The Stanley is almost symmetrical. For the best aerodynamics the widest point should be at 30% of the length, in plan and taper. I don't know if the simple curve below the beltline and compound curved above is optimal.
Here's my design. The front suspension, steering and brake lines are in a filleted pylon. It's 3x12ft, the same as a P-38 drop tank. It has four wheels to fit into an open-wheel Lakester racing class.
It would actually be constructed of sheets braked into triangular or hexagonal flats , instead of being compound curved.
