The optimal case would be a fifth-wheel hitch. With a convex quarter-spherical nose on the trailer and a concave quarter-spherical tail* on the tow vehicle, centered in the hitch.

Polished stainless steel surfaces at a fraction of an inch gap. Blown gap. The exhausted air would constitute a Shauberger Trout Turbine and provide forward thrust through the Coanda effect.

* Two separated axes of rotation like a surveillance cam.
