I know this thread has been scrubbed, but it brought up some interesting issues.

Explain to me again how this design below can stray from the 2.8 degree rule.

Aptera Comes Back from The Dead | Design Engine

Just eyeballing underbody looks to be plus or minus 15 degree average.

Bottom of rear wheel faring almost an 30 degree tangent.
