This is a RC model, but it presents an interesting take on tadpole aerodynamics.

The aluminum tube tail boom reduces wetted area. The rear steering geometry is IMHO wrong, the pivot line is too far from the contact patch.

Airshaper showed him a feature called Design Advice, that netted a 24% improvement in CD!

It reminds me somewhat of Jocko Johnson's Triple Nickel streamliner.
