I haven’t checked the later models, but those that I remember were polycarbonate and much thinner than the usual fiber composites velomobile fairings. Lighter weight of course, but I would guess fragile to impacts and abrasions. Still, they might be much stiffer today, that I don’t know.
 
That seems like a recipe for self-roasting turkey.

Toasty warm turkey on those rainy days :bigthumb:
i think im buying this used Atlantis this weekend,cheap cheap cheap, you can see the tape where it was damaged,
the wedge is 33 inches wide and about 50lbs
the atlantis is 24 inches wide, 17inches high, 81inches long, should be 35 to 40lbs

This is just crazy enough to work. I can totally visualize it and it has the potential for greatness. I just hope the shape doesn't end up generating lift.
