Question to those with/on boat tails: how stiff do the panels need to be in order to be effective?
It would appear to me that they wouldn't need to be since they are guiding airflow rather than deflecting. Is this correct?
The reason I ask is that I am working on a idea. Think of it as an inside-out pop tent/ Teepee boat tail. Structure and cover like a tent using clear greenhouse film. The rear joint tied together like a teepee, with a cable attachment on joint to body. This cable would keep it attached and provide a slight bend to rods and tension to outer skin.
This concept would be easily collapsed and stored in the car for in town, and setup quickly as well. Rod attachment points would be easy to hide, and would be in 6 locations: Under roof spoiler, top of wheel arch, and the front of the wheel arch (incorporating a rear wheel skirt).
Thoughts?
Title fyi (cleaned for PC reasons): Man walks into a psychologist's office and says "doctor, I've been having these really odd dreams". Doctor: "tell me about them". The man says "At first, I'm a wigwam, then a teepee, then a wigwam. Doctor, what wrong with me?". Doctor says, "I know your problem. You're two tents! (too tense)."
