Any idea what year that was? I think Elon Musk appropriated the form factor.

Anyways, I'm on page 105 that begins with #4161 (post #4201 will start a new page). Scrolling down to the recent post is really a trip. Post #4175 has a proposal for the same thing, It was criticized for the inverted nose creating front end lift.

edit:
I've been thinking about the M-hull boat hull and Luigi Colani's manta ray noses. The M-hull creates vortexes that feed air into a difusser. Colani may have been onto vortex generators that work for land instead of water.
