They obtain 3.4% accuracy compared to 2.2% in physical wind tunnels, per Hucho.

This is machine learning, from a data set of 800 shapes they precompute the CD and then compare to a control of 80 done the hard way.

This [potentially] fulfills my dream of finding the shape that's halfway between the Volhart-Saggitta V2 and a new Corvette.
