I think so. At first my Dad said "where's the beef?". What I provided to him did not explicitly state that wind tunnel testing was conducted. After we talked, he said that they probably *did* do wind tunnel testing because they *should* have had the facilities to do it. What's really needed is the original academic paper that documented everything. He agreed with another poster that it is hard to tell how accurate the drawing is to the grill as described. It could just be an "artist's rendering" for a magazine that leaves a (devilish) detail out.
I asked and he said you could simplify it to being "just flat slats", but he would not expect it to perform as well.
