The design executive, for one, took particular notice of the car's aerodynamics and airflow, which is enhanced by the vehicle's shape and vents on its sides. Its pop-up door handles, which are similar to the Tesla Model S, also improve its aerodynamics. As noted in a Motor1 report, the German legacy ...

Despite all the attempts to lower downforce and limit side force, NASCAR has still struggled to generate passing on the intermediate tracks that make up nearly half of the schedule.

1,177-hp Zenvo TSR-S offers "brutal" gearshifts and extreme active aerodynamics ... powertrain definitely qualifies as capital "E" Extreme (if you quietly discount the fact that electric hypercars are now making even stupider amounts of power), but the TSR-S also offers a fascinating twist on the aerodynamics of the rear wing.

... 70-80% of the power you put through the pedals is used to overcome the resistance from the wind. This means that being aero is a vital consideration if you're keen to get faster, (along with all that training you're planning). Here are five components that will optimise your own or your bike's aerodynamics.

Boom Supersonic claims the XB-1 is the fastest civil jet in history, and will give them invaluable information about "the forces, temperatures, and aerodynamics at these speeds". Unlike most planes which are built largely from aluminium, the XB-1 is manufactured using ultra-durable carbon composites.

Of course, the fuel or energy efficiency of a vehicle isn't only based on aerodynamics, but since it's what impacts a lot of the exterior design of the car, ... For the Focus, adding wheel covers to the ICE would have even less gains in overall efficiency, because the aerodynamics of the car aren't really the ...

This explains why few ICE vehicles rely on aero type wheel covers. For the EV, the wind resistance becomes the largest loss on the highway at somewhere north of 40% of the total losses. If you can improve the aerodynamics 10%, the range and MPGe will increase by 4% (40% of the total x 10% efficiency improvement).

For most cyclists, an everyday ride can't be pigeonholed as an “aero” or a “climbing” day. We mix in some fast flat roads, some slow climbs, and everything in between. That's why the ...

"With regards to aerodynamics, we tried to retain our concept of the inlets for the radiators, and everybody is copying that, but we tried to make an additional step forward. What we showed today is not the same element as last year, it is something more developed. The strengths are there and we wanted to ...

Ferrari have unveiled the new auto they hope will end Mercedes' dominance of the Formula One world championship. It features Ferrari's traditional red livery, with the colour white mostly absent from this vehicle in contrast to its immediate predecessors. "To stand here now is very special for all of us".

Some Victorians were wary of the railways. First there was the speed. Anything over 30mph and you wouldn't be able to breathe. Then there was the noise. It could be enough to disturb your vision, damage your eyes and turn you completely doolally. And then there were the tunnels! Speed, noise, smoke ...

The reason the aerodynamics wars began was the introduction of winglets to assist with wheelie control. Electronic wheelie control involves interrupting the power which by definition, involves going slower. That's why Ducati tried the winglets to achieve the desired effect with airflow rather than having to ...

The aerodynamics of a skeleton bobsled and rider are complex, and our knowledge of fluid mechanics is far from complete.

Aerodynamics appear to have been at the forefront of the new design, thanks to the input of Williams' head of aerodynamics Dirk De Beer who helped shape the FW41 alongside Lowe and chief designer Ed Wood. "It is very exciting to be giving everyone the first look at the FW41," commented Lowe.

The team tested their hypothesis and demonstrated a bio-inspired structure that could improve the aerodynamics of cars, drones, planes, and wind turbines. They used micro-CT scanning to image and 3D model the denticles of the shortfin mako, the world's fastest shark; its denticles resemble a trident, due ...

Sharks have been around since before dinosaurs roamed the earth, which has given them plenty of time to perfect the art of aerodynamics. It's no surprise then that sharks, like whales, can teach us a thing or two about more efficiently moving through both water and air. A team of biologists and engineers ...
