I'm not sure I buy the arrowheads on the graphic streamers. Are they saying the entire trunk-lid is in recirculation? Maybe just a patch at the base of the window?
*'public indecency'
*My guess is that they're implying zero reattachment onto the boot,with the wake making it all the way forward to the backlight,without VGs. Then,they get reattachment,with limited counter-flow under the locked-vortex with them.Driving on a dusty road would probably tell us.
*The current Wheeler 'Airtabs' are just a single,non-copulating VG and designed quite a bit different.
One thought about them,is that if the Honda's boundary layer is as thick as that of the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO,then the Wheeler VG is a sub-TBL-thickness VG,whereas those employed on the Lancer are as thick as the TBL.Around 25mm.
