OK, sounds a bit off topic, but not really.
I was chatting with another lister yesterday about roof racks, roof
tents and obviously apart from raising the centre of gravity a lloaded
roof rack / roof tent ruins the LC's svelt lines causing increased drag
and bumping up the fuel consumption.
Now to my question.......
Normally with a roof rack or a roof tent it is raised above the roof
line so that air can flow between the roof and the tent/roof rack.
Obvioussly due to the nature of the roof rails support a roof tent or
the supports under a roof rack there is a fair bit of turbulence.
Is there any merit in having some sort of aerofoil/cover running from
the top of the windscreen to push the air up and over the tent/rack - a
bit like the big aerofoils you see on the front of lorries?
