Nice would love one of those

TRAILER

:agree:....That's sweet ...until you get to the price...........But that aside, I would have mounted the POD on the trailer ...in reverse of the way they did it ....for aerodynamic reasons .........I suppose you could do that if you bought it ????.........Mike

 

[Chupaca]

Sweet...

light weight no doubt. Do agree with :agree: that mounted that way works well if there are no gaps between the vehicle and the trailer but seeing as there are it would work better reversed...very nice unit...:2thumbs:

 

[ARtraveler]

Very nice trailer option. :thumbup::thumbup:

Teardrop shape is very aerodynamic and it's right to tow.

Your pics are better than their website...

It sort of looks like the Kissin' Cousin to the Little Guy trailers... :2thumbs:

Which edge of an airplane wing has the larger radius?

Looks great.

I am not sure how to attach prior comment but in response to Blue Knight, you are correct regarding the airplane wing, but that is not to reduce resistance, it is to achieve lift. It is an idea found by a guy named Bernouli. By his theory, the shape of this trailer through the air actually creates lift. I don't know if this is good or bad.

 

[Bob Denman]

It may have been designed this way to insure that the bulk of the load is NOT ending up behind the axle...

 

[PrairieSpyder]

I wonder if it floats! They could put the hatch in the top and it could be a houseboat!hyea:

True, but reduction of resistance is part of the equation. There probably is some lift but it would be immaterially small. Air flowing around a blunt object produces a lot of turbulence on the downwind side. That turbulence creates a low pressure region which the pressure on the front side tends to push the object into. That is part of the drag of moving an object through air. Low pressure on the downwind side is why hurricane winds remove siding, including bricks, from a building. The low pressure is reduced by a design the allows the air to smoothly pass over and come back together with less turbulence.

Reducing drag caused by turbulence is the idea behind the "Trailer Tail" you see on semi truck trailers these days.

Damn! That is an expensive trailer. And not painted to match. :hun: Tom :spyder:

Airplane wings are designed to provide lift!!

 

[JayBros]

Do they come in a Tall size?

 

[Roadster Renovations]

Which edge of an airplane wing has the larger radius?

Yeah, but isn't that to create a vacuum to create lift. It does that by knocking the wind away from the top and bottom of the wing. More drag, not less and in this case exactly opposite of what you would want to do IMHO.

That is a sweet trailer, but a little too pricey.

 

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

Airplane wings are designed to provide lift!!

Yes, but they depend on very smooth air flow to do so, not turbulent flow! You get the smooth flow by the elongated taper on the trailing side. Look at underwater torpedos. The front is blunt round. The back is tapered to a point. Same for bombs. Lift is not needed in either of those cases. There's a reason for the blunt front, tapered rear, - less drag.
