Okay, so I'm a highly experienced & retired RAF Aircraft Technician, who is also a confirmed Petrol-Head and have been since the age of 11. I have a 2006 Freelander Td4, a vehicle that has the aerodynamics of a flying-brick, especially when it's going quite fast. I love it though.
Can anyone point a finger towards where I can lay my hands on an aerofoil for its flat arse-end? It's not to keep its butt on the deck - like a sports car might need, but to smooth-out the confused and sucking-backwards airstream behind, thus giving a more comfortable drive as well as more MPG. I'm all for efficiency.
And I have to say, that considering some remarks from previous threads, I would appreciate serious answers to help me with the question in hand. Therefore, to those who might be able to give me an encouraging answer, please, please do.
If, however, the answer is in the infantile and puerile category (that'll get some backs up I'm sure - I can't wait for their responses as I enjoy a good laugh & can perhaps use them in my OU psychology studies, talk-about-waving a RED flag to a bull), please desist. I'm implying the wrong kind of answers may be given because some have already been dished-out for other questions, etc. I find it difficult to understand why some individuals go out of their way to be outrageously silly instead of being helpful. I reckon they may have had a difficult childhood or have suspect DNA.
I am a professional engineer (BSc) and hope that someone can help me in my quest to smooth-out the negative & expensive drag... in a professional manner. Please - pretty-please. I have also studied many other subjects - including psychology, of which I've almost finished my Diploma. So I'm sort of perversely hoping there may still be some individuals who can inadvertently help me with my final studies by writing interesting or maybe colourful ideas or crude suggestions that may be of no use at all, except to help me pass my exams. lol. But I'm really praying that someone does know where I can get a functional aerofoil/spoiler for my Freelander - if such a thing exists. Might it?
Thanks.
