Model 219 Fairing with integral Panniers

the project has progressed. Had to cut the corners off the Panniers to make the Fairing fit. But that's to be expected. No ones ever built stresmlined panniers before, or if they did, they didn't document their work very well.
seems 99.95% of streamlined bicycles are recumbents...
keep in mind, I keep many angles to 90 degree right angles . Lines are mostly vertical or horizontal , curves are beginning to show, but are Not compound curves. I hope to create a Baseline Design that other builders can modify or adapt.
this is a one-off human powered vehicle.
production methods may be fabrication from board stick (pictured),
fiberglass mold, 3D printing, or injection molding.
​​​​​​​i am following the KISS rule. Therefore I had to leave off the heat shields that will enable the bike to re-enter the earths atmosphere . Yeah, you can be a genius and do that , but the people don't have the $177,000,000.38 to pay a rocket scientist.
