Ermahgerd ! They have it backwards... 'slap' !
( Not like the airflow would stay attached at that angle anyways, but just thinking possible potential here.) |

Damn you Dr. Wunibald Kamm!!!
Your truncated airfoil (Foil E) for having very similar drag coefficients as our 'purist optimum' (Foils A, B, C) boattails.
Trek Madone (Kammtail Virtual Foil) profiles know their aerodynamics.

Modern, as in 1963 modern
In German, but it's all about the pics :
Einradanhänger, Kuriositäten
Einradanhänger, Modelle
PS :
Holzgas is wood gas for a gasifier car (or whatever you call them) , and the gasifiers also ended up on single wheel trailers.
