Aero Boat Tail structure

We have taken the boat tail design and integrated it with a durable cargo carrying structure. It is dual function: to carry soft gear increasing cargo capacity and improving rear air flow with the boat tail taper. Our initial tests on a station wagon improved mpg by ~10%, while carrying soft gear. It is patent pending, AeroPACKusa .

It attaches to a lift gate or hatch back. Conceptually one could carry soft gear or use lightweight inflatable spheres (beach balls) inside the structure to achieve the mpg improvement.

Hope this helps.
