the point of all this is to increase efficiency, if you destroy the flow around the airfoil then you defeat the purpose of such streamlining. The nose foiler (especially a large one) makes it look streamlined from the front but not when the wind is at an angle. Have you experimented with that approach? I'm sure it doesn't care what causes the change in wind direction (traffic, trees).
