If I can find a source, will do, thank you for the info. A deployable wing...why? For parking space? I don’t see much an issue with a static wing, but around here I’d agree on the ice. I’ll be purchasing lots of coroplast for the underbody, so I’ll snag some cardboard for tests like you say.

I think I’ve building up would be fine on a fixed wing. I can take my car into my heated shop and let it melt down every now and then, so I’m not that worried about ice. I think it should work okay.

What Id like to know currently is opinions on a boat tail design. With clear Lexan, I think I can keep the visibility, but the junction between the top of the trunk and rear windshield makes me feel like this is a lipstick-on-a-pig situation. I’d like to know the shape to use to make shortest (and preferably least strange looking) boat tail that still helps to streamline the airflow. For now it’s purely conceptual, but it’s something I’d like to know.
