I think it's a good question.
The stock answer is length over height, but I notice with vehicles like the Arcimoto, taller than they are wide, the doubled taper on the sides overrules the taper on the top. The result is a vertical edge rather than a tail.
I'd favor length over max width OR height. If you can solve for a full boat-tail you can derive the truncation.
velomoblile need a longitudinal wickerbill on the nose, as well as a tailfin.
