Hucho tells us that for the lowest drag we'll need airfoil or half-body shapes.
*The 2005 NUON NUNA,@ Cd 0.07 would be the 'airfoil' benchmark.
*The 2013 Cambridge University CUER would be an okay 1/2-body benchmark,@ Cd 0.10.
Mods which push a body in those directions would be winners.
The key is the high sectional density and elongation which allow streamlines to converge without separation,leading to a higher base pressure.
