okiekajun, that's a VERY cool design! It's a profile I'll definitely work with in my own constantly evolving yet somehow eternally elusive tear design.
With that said, my lifelong interest in aerospace comes to the forefront...that little bugger appears to be well on its way to closely mimicking an aircraft wing cross section. In other words, I just wonder if it might try to get altitude at interstate speeds!
If it doesn't, it'll look super sweet wherever you take it. If it
does go airborne...
All jokes aside, can anyone offer up some past experience here with the aerodynamics of tears, good or bad? Can you see what I see: using this idea to reduce the load on the tow vehicle! I'm not talking about pulling a glider behind your '32 Deuce. Just letting the wind (which your Deuce expensively pushes aside as it rumbles down the road) relieve the weight of the trailer just enough to reduce the pulling forces needed.
Then you have to look ahead to winter when you
need more traction. Adjustable airfoils, anyone? Where's that Roswell design I saw floating around here? Just the ticket!
Am I a techno-geek or what?
Maybe, but I do have a lot of fun! Paper tigers are CHEAP to build!!!! HA!
My wife says I have successfully taken the wholesome, old-time traditional fun of camping and single-handedly changed it into an audition to be on the three a.m. time slot of the NASA channel. Thanks, dear. Good luck, okiekajun.
