Sagebrush posted:You can see the exact moment when people realized this by looking at the design of solar-powered cars. For a while they were all shaped like teardrops, then suddenly they all became flat planes with a tiny sharp-edged bubble for the driver. Solar power cars do not just optimize for drag, but also for PV-cell surface area which lead to those flat shapes. Shell eco marathon winners on the other hand look like the example below. Once a shape with no flow separation occurs is found, it becomes is a question on minimizing minimizing surface area of the vehicle. Quite the opposite compared to the solar racers which also try to maximize the PV cell area.
