Well, when I asked the engineer if the had more information/diagrams, he told it was made of perfect ellipses. I was also imaging the lower portion had ellipses more flater, since the images gives this ilusion.
Aptera probably did some of you said... But Aptera CD was 0,11 (for the best version) while Fusion (4 riders pedal power vehicle) and SolarWorld No.1 was 0,9 and 0,97 respectivelly.





Do you think that a version 12 inches wider, keeping original lenght would reduce aerodynamic efficience ?
