[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1503992, member: 22662"] I think that's where the aerodynamics comes in. I recall from early motorecycle racing, small 50hp engines could propel a motorcycle at well over 100 mph due to the bubble shaped front. In fact, the shape of a raindrop proves one of the most efficient designs. So as the lift occurs, the vehicle should be left with the relatively light weight of the axles and suspension to be propelled by engine and transmission. The body housing engine and transmission effectively becomes unsprung weight being propelled on air. I'm no engineer (obviously) but it's fun to think about possibilities no matter how crazy or currently impractical. [/QUOTE]
