I have a hard time believeing that the length of the vehicle in question is not a major factor in the optimum taper. My thoughts(based on my "very" minut amount of knowledge on this) are that the sho

I fail to see this logic....... with a shorter vehicle, it can be surmised that the air is likely "less" attached, how would one think that they could now "direct" that less attached air at a more ag

Good point on the less attached air on the sides Joe, but what about the rear? Let's go with the extremes here. If we have a vehicle that's 4 foot long and a vehicle that's 40 foot long(let's say bot

Now folks, why do you assume you can have only a one time 7 degree taper? You can multiple ones. In fact you can have so many that it becomes a smooth curve. So all is well... mayf, out in Pahrump, w

Exactly, Mayf. If you use a curve with a radius that has a <7 degree tangent to the LOCAL airstream, the airstream should stay "attached." You're right too about trying to minimize "wetted area" to r

According to Bob Pierson, who spent a number of years in engineering with Northrop Aircraft, the best aero shape (I am thinking profile here) is a diamond and the next best is a wedge. In other word

I'll go out on a limb here... do a thought experiment. In your mind draw a straight line. put a point on it. now move one point away from that point and make a 45 degree angle, move to the next point
