* with three-foot pull-bar
* integrator height matches Tahoe
* integrator width matches Tahoe
* boat-tailing begins on gap-filler
* total surface area of appliance 260-square-feet
* double -layer, biased, pre-preg carbon fiber epoxy, vacuum-bagged, autoclaved
* 4.321-ounce/ square-feet, monocoque, stressed skin, ovoid ( egg-shelled )
* total exterior skin, 70-pounds
* total appliance weight, 150-pounds
* bonded hard-points
* composite independent suspension
* single-wheel
* Bridgestone Ecopia EP80, 2.25- 14, Tubeless, 800 kPa ( or equivalent )
* full wheel fairing
* Road-Load horsepower, negative 22.385- hp @ 70-mph ( 115-km/h )
* Road-Load Rolling- Resistance horsepower, 0.05-hp @ 70-mph ( 115-km/h )
* Total trailer load, negative 22.335- horsepower, @ 70-mph.
* 41-mpg @ 70-mph ( assuming gear-matched, constant BSFC )
