3) If the slope begins on the 'yellow' perimeter, all the flow will have already been lost on the cuff, wherever the tangent angle reached 25-degrees.
4) If you must begin on the yellow line, then you're looking at a box-cavity technology, instead of a boat tail.
5) The extension panels would just go 'straight' to the rear, perpendicular to the rear of the box, with their trailing edge falling along an imaginary
streamlined path, capturing locked-vortices between the 'cuff' and the trailing edges.
6) And whether a boat tail, or box-cavity, the surfaces where they attach and adjoin each other. must be 'airtight'.
