Faired Recumbents

For any sort of recumbent plans look at the British Human Power Club site. There are plans available and a lot ot technical help. Membership is cheap, but I don't believe compulsory to get the plans.

You might want to think about a front and tailbox fairing with a removable lycra "body sock" completing the fairing as this can be lighter and more flexible - take it off for windy days etc.

This is a good intro:

I know the guy Rob who built and rode the Mango. He crashed at nearly 70 mph during the event!

One of the fastest used in the hour record 2 yrs ago (I think) had the rider laying horizontally on his back with no window, just a video screen (which failed at full speed).

As mentioned above, both BHPC and bentrideronline are good resources for that kind of thing, there is also WISIL http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/home.asp with information of building various kinds of fairings.
I have ridden about 8,000 miles so far this year on fully faired recumbents, first a home-built fairing ontop of a store bought Trice and later a store bought moncoque fully faired trike. Are you thinking of building a single track or multi-track machine? Multi-track can handle higher wind speeds, I've ridden in winds of 30mph+.
