cord is 2.5 height/width . We only see 1/2 the height. I have a pic of a UPS truck demonstrating this some were. The water mist kicked off the rear dolly(1 trailer+ 1 dolly)shows the wake as the template dose 2.5x the thickness of the full airfoil( 2x truck height x2.5 ). on short things the width is the larger factor and is faster to recover as there are 2 sides merging air as opposed to 1 top no bottom.
