"What the air prefers"? Depends on what object we are talking about. Go slower than bullets and the leading surface need not be as pointy.

The only valid comparison in this argument is the cD of a round nosed car compared to the exact same car with a pointy nose fitted to it.

What is better than the Schlor car? Why is no pointy nose fitted? They weren't worried about styling or manufacturing constraints either.

Can you refute my claim of lowered air pressure?

Yes. Grab a book on aerodynamics and look at the many, many examples of aero shapes.

Perhaps some definition is in order? Such as what should be called blunt and what should be called pointy? http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ar-6982-4.html

Are we having a symantic problem with what is blunt and what is pointy?

Every pic except the Corcorde in my above post I consider blunt.
