Are you saying the profile is as good as its going to get and I won't see much improvement modifying the boat tail anymore? Therefore, I need to focus on the rest of the car.
Also, I finished the bottom section of the boat tail I just hadn't when I took that picture.
Edit: Assuming I am correct in what you mean by saturation I think I have some useful information. On a particular road in town that was recently repaved and has a 55 mph speed limit the tail makes absolutely no noise. If there was a lot of turbulence the unsupported sections would flap around right? The road is decently protected from crosswinds on both sides by trees and buildings. |
At a certain point of increased radius or angle,no additional rounding,or steepening will produce any further drag reduction.You've hit 'saturation.'
The tail looks delicious! Thanks for doing that!
