Hello -

For our purposes, does the scale have to remain the same? Can we have different scales as long as we maintain the same proportions of angle and shape relative to the oncoming air?

Can the shape be simplified to being just a curve? That would make manufacture easy. Just cut up some tubing and install at an angle. I am guessing it *does* need the "fatter bottom", because it looks like an airfoil.
