It does sound like it meant it was flying,but no It is as if the streamliner is a a airfoil of a wing,but on its side[a vertical wing],depending on the speed and direction of the air moving down over the sides, will cause it to move in a horizontal plane[side to side,lateral movement]either right or left in relation to the roadway]So if we can change that movement of the air down the sides, in a strong crosswind,we can maybe reduce some of the horizontal movement,Peter said maybe a spoiler off the nose and on the side,and maybe in the future we could even alter the shape of the vehicle,just enough,so as not to upset the cd to much,but to reduce that high pressure and adverse movement.So alignment,wheelbase,balance etc and careful body design[aerodynamics] should make for a really nice ride.Thanks for helping me and i'm sure a few others break it down.
