You'd need some sort of drogue chute or fins to keep it pointed nose-down, otherwise it'd tumble like the Beetle in the Top Gear episode just posted.
Or maybe being a rear-engined car put the Beetle at a unique disadvantage, and the Camry would orient itself just fine.
Junkyards are easy, who's got a helicopter-pilot friend and some land?
- tobmlt 6y agoHa! Sorry - I hadn’t seen your comment when I started mine. Yeah that engine up front will help I think!
- snovv_crash 6y agoFor it to be aerodynamically stable you need the center of mass to be less than ~25% from one end. I don't think a Camry or Model S will do that, it will need stabilization fins.
