RE: Aerodynamics

Ok.  So teardrops are good low drag shapes.

Can I assume that if you make the nose 'pointier' and
use a curve flatter than 6 degrees on the back
that the Cd drops until at some point the gains 
are offset by the increased skin friction of the 
longer vehicle?  What is the tradeoff point?

Minimum width is controlled, of course, by the minimum
space required for my fat but....   wide shoulders.

Thanks,
Jim W.
