In our design development we are interested in tracking down various cross section shapes that fair well given a maximum yaw angle of 30 degrees. For the bike industry we are generally only concerned with air speed maximums of 40 mph.

Any advice on how programs to generate cross sections for CAD applications or places to look up current cross sections would be greatly appreciated. Generally the sizes of interest are up to 50mm major axis, up to 20mm minor axis.
