Rolls Royce’s Spirit of Ecstasy has “tits” and Rolls Royce have historically admitted that, following latter wind tunnel trials that the Spirit of Ecstasy actually contributed to the aerodynamism qualities of the car. It was found that the body of the figurine gracing the radiator forced the airflow past the upper body and under the wings causing air to be evenly distributed over the shape of the vehicle in two vortices. Were it not for the fact that the shape of the figure’s breasts must have contributed to a part of the airflow due to the fact that the entire bodies shape would have had to be taken into the calculations I would have filed this under “dubious”.

So, it seems, “tits” have an aerodynamic quality -certainly on the RR.

Can you imagine what an outcry would ensue from businessmen and statesmen that bought the car had RR removed the ‘offendending articles’ today ?

They would not have been amused.

At least Ryanair did not insult women with huge Tomb Raider like manifestations. For that we have to be thankful and applaud Ryanair for having the bright idea of at least identifying the fact that women are a contributory factor to the success of their airline.
