I thought the trunk lifted up but it kind of looks like it somehow rotates up. If so it would improve the taper.
At 'normal' highway speeds,it would offer very little benefit.
If you're flat out in a Bugatti Veyron,that's another story.
I like Frank's idea of trying to capture kinetic energy with a 5th-wheel.
