It bothers me that the chosen position for the tests in the research paper is the T-pose. That would be like testing the aerodynamics of two cars with different bumpers while also having all the doors wide open. Just doesn't make sense.

Give me a neutral posture, a mid walk stride, and lastly the superman flight pose, least realistic but most in need of answering in my opinion. Side note: I want a research paper breakdown of the different superman poses to determine which is best.

If you wanted to have the aerodynamics tested with wind hitting the body from the front like the original test then the legs should also be spread (stop what you're thinking pervert) in the fashion of a skydivers neutral position.
