Professor Morelli's research has always taken high-speed directional stability into consideration. His 1973 patent (application 1964) included stability as a cornerstone of the design protocol.
His 'banana' car of 1978 used fin/fairings behind the rear wheels to control the center of pressure, providing for 'slip' without 'yaw.' Zero pitching moment as well.Zero lift.
