Thanks! I didn't build windows in this version of my Aerocap, so I can't see what it happening when I drive, but I have observed the Aerocap from a chase car and sure enough the shape does deform. What suprised me was that it seemed to "inflate" into a nice rounded shape. From looking at the tufts, the are seemed to flow smoothly over the inflated shape. Below is a screenshot from a short video i took (I will post the video later if I can figure out how to remove the sound).
