One recent technology in this arena (in case you are not already familiar with it), is the pair of wheel fairings by

Two really good points, at least in my opinion:
> They have a design and have published some of their technical work to develop and test the designs - I can learn something from that!
> When I worked to develop similarly new ideas in an automotive corporate environment, I was to show a competitive analysis including at least a personal patent search if not a downtown job done by a consultant. Food for thought.
