Ya know... Maybe I've said already GREAT THREAD here? Plenty of examples over time about how to slip through the air at high speeds:
Camille Jenatzy in 1899:
This 1910 Bédélia 2-seater was shortened to one, for racing (but still looking rather "aero"):
A four-wheeler, but those styling Italians... In 1914 milanese count Marco Ricotti commissioned the A.L.F.A. (later Alfa Romeo) 40/60 HP "Aerodinamica". A replica of that car created in the 70s:
I'm not sure the Leyat Helica of 1922 EVen HAD any driven wheels, but the body at least was pretty "aero":
So I say again, FREE ENERGY re "aero" and "dynamics".
The Dunkley "Pramotor", 1924:
The Curry "Landskiff", about 1925:
French industrial designer Paul Arzens designed "La Baleine" (the whale), a one-of car in 1938:
(Looking very "aero", built around the chassis of an old Buick.)
...and he designed and built in 1942 a sphere of plexiglas mounted on aluminum; "L'Oeuf électrique" (The electric egg):
The Fend Flitzer from about 1948 LOOKED sorta "aero":

The Ariel Leader British motorcycle (1958-1965). Fully enclosed with an integral windscreen:
Some old sailors might snicker at landlubbers? They're quite used to slipping around on the boundary layer between TWO fluids? And one fluid much thinner/lighter ("air") that can travel MUCH faster than the other, (think the force of a tiny bullet travelling VERY fast) so sailors use this as a source of FREE ENERGY for their travels (may or may not even HAVE a motor on board their vehicle ("vessel")).
If Homer were a sailor he might say:
The American catamaran sailboat "Stars and Stripes" in 1988:
But EVen landlubber ebikers might go "yachting" and get "aero":
