2 is more for supersonic flow management than subsonic flows.
Not sure what the benefit of 3 would be.
4 would sit outside the nose box so i suspect it's illegal.
5 would be illegal under the same rules that banned shark fins.
6 would have trouble getting around the radius rules etc that banned winglets (i think)
Skeptical about 7 but but I'll let someone with more knowledge than me take this one.
First of all thanx for your effort of reading MIKEY!
1. A radiator usually has a rectangular and flat shape. Imagine a 3D tear drop shape radiator how could it be ... the benefits would be a higher heat transfer and a smaller volume needed hence a smaller air intake opening ... now regarding a higher heat transfer there are many other fluids (salty fluids, in general) that could get a better heat transfer rather then simple water
3. This fan has a role in accelerating the air flow in this area hence a better and therefore quicker heat transfer. You could build a smaller radiator ...
7. It could be interesting isn`t it?
