Rear mirror drag simulations
Here's a pretty interesting student project I came across investigating the aero effects of the rear-view mirrors on a Mercedes Benz A-Class.
(Can't post links yet, just google "Designing and Optimizing Side View
Mirrors" by Martin Olsson, 2011)
The quality of the study is student level, but it shows some interesting comparisons between different mirror mods and gives an estimate of a ~4% reduction in drag from mirror deletion.
What are your thoughts?
