*the inboard wheels would be great,they could have skirts
*a little roof curvature leading into the down-slope would really help.Lay used 18-degrees max. for this simple roofline.
*plan taper behind the axle is great.Again,some curvature leading into the angle is preferred.Lay used about 11-degrees max.convergence angle with this type of boat-tailing.
*the SAE 10-degree departure angle clearance criteria would help with optimizing the diffuser angle.(Hucho favors 2.5-degrees upsweep)
*a gap-filler made like an 'Inflate-A-Bed' along with it's 12-VDC inflation unit could cut drag over 10% according to NASA testing.SPANDEX stretched across the void has demonstrated savings with the VW Jetta aero trailer project.
*she'd be 'golden' "Oro Azul" blue gold,from the sky!
