Conformal aero storage box
 

I am fascinated with the new info and ideas on the aero truck threads. The aero template is so ingrained now, that application/production is next.
Took an active sports/outdoor lifestyle as the design objective. Boat/equipment/horse towing, ski/equipment stowage, & go BIG (F-450)!
Inspired by a F-16 Falcon with CFTs. Aerodynamic shapes slapped on top of their wing roots for additional fuel/equipment.
The aero-optimal top profile is a two-part conformal package; top stowage (removable) and a typical tapered box (small baffle/vane). Maybe could be used separately?
More for discussion...

Like the looks and the idea...:thumbup:

It's a beautiful concept. With a pickup the box usually moves relative to the cab due to frame flex. That seems like a nontrivial detail here, no?

That's why the separation/float of the different volumes. The torsional/flex differences may require wider space tolerances with elastomeric pads or suspension brackets.

Or use only on custom 'monocoque' truck bodies. Truck customizers' newest favorite trick.
