Sorry if I seemed a little terse. I think I misspoke when I said downforce is added, I think that lifting force is reduced now that I look at the data again. The Coeficient of lift goes from .22 to .11 at 10° and to .36 when it reached 18°, so rather than "Adding Downforce" it is "Reducing Upforce". So I'm guessing that's where part of the drag reduction is coming from.
Yeah, when you get a chance to look at the paper on a big ol computer sometime, I hope it makes sense to you, I really think this would optimize your fuel savings with your project.
