This is just a point of curiosity for me but as the title asks, is there a place in aviation for the Kammback?

In short, it’s basically just chopping the aft end off a streamlined shape and letting the airflow figure itself out. Apparently it has historically worked pretty well for race cars and in the context of airplanes the back end of a fairing can’t weight anything if it’s not there.
