I'm not familiar with 3BP's design process for the Droplet, but Aptera's design is 100% based on aerodynamics. Aptera's engineering team is amazing and as long as it made sense regarding wind resistance, it was selected. The trunk can become a tent with the Aptera too, pretty ingenious.
that’s amazing!!
also sorry, should have been more clear- 3BP (“Three Body Problem”) is a sci-fi series getting a Netflix adaptation soon, and there is a type of space probe called a Droplet that is tear-shaped and perfectly reflective
