Aurel Persu (26 December 1890 – 5 May 1977) was a Romanian engineer and pioneer car designer, the first to place the wheels inside the body of the car as part of his attempt to reach the perfect aerodynamic shape for automobiles.
He came to the conclusion that the perfectly aerodynamic automobile must have the shape of a falling water drop.
