A trailer generator is all kinds of inefficient. Weight. Aero. Etcetera.

It wouldn't fit is the first thing that came to mind.

airspeed

The body's drag coefficient is constant between 20-mph and 250-mph.Above that,compressability effects begin to come into play as shockwave-dependent transonic flow begins to initiate.

I'm not certain that I fully understand the question,but I'll throw this out.
