Adjacent envelopes have spanwise edge regions (161,162,172,173) flanking shared interzone borders (160,170). The edge regions (161,162,172,173) are provided with nonlinear contours having features (166,167,176,177) which project-and-recess in a direction generally parallel to the airstream direction (A).
