Delayed thank you, your comments led to the creation of Scheme-3 FYI.
To clarify, the roof on your overlay scheme is intended to be a two-piece clam-shell that gets lifted up, right?

That works for me as I'm short and my wife is even shorter, we may not need to raise the roof cap mechanically at all with those dimensions. Again this is a "
just a for fun" study, a musing of daydreams. Nice work, thank you for putting that together for us all.

Nice links, thanks.
It's like designs that initially appear to address aerodynamic concerns end up failing or surrendering to some mundane practicality of function.
What this tells me is that aerodynamic design is still a fashion statement hired out to some stylist for marketing concerns and fails to get faithfully executed due to poor hand offs and delegation to others that do not embrace the concept and just want to retire early themselves.
