Ya think?

I guess what I'm thinking about is vs a flat transom. Maybe curved branches like veins in the flat bottom (something like what you see under race cars) that would wrangle the turbulent air as it exits. The plate becomes an edge.

If it generates down-force to boot, no problem. The interesting question is: What would it really do?

What's really going on under there? Sound waves bouncing back and forth between the road and the car?
