Cool. Looking at the photos of the models it isn't obvious ( except to me because I made them ) that there is a 16 degree taper from front to back . Having noted that how do you think the idea holds up ?

The straight sides would make housing sliding doors within the rear section relatively easy, they could be mounted on draw slides and held closed with magnets but sprung with shock cord to open when released .

That would really improve the aerodynamic efficiency .
