You could also make the whole thing shaped like a triangle, putting one passenger between a moderately behind the left-right passengers and one slightly in front (you could even have them all facing each other). If I have it right, this would hopefully allow for a very easily elongated and inward/tapered tail, an outward "tapered front" (shaped not unlike a flattened/shortened front-top and rear-top of a jet airliner) and insanely low Cda.
I'm having trouble picturing this. You have five posts now, do you have an example?

I like the Edison2 VLC a lot. Especially the in-hub steering. Do you have a link to the story about Oliver Kuttner going to Russia?
