By understanding some basic aerodynamic principles, it becomes possible to identify these components, understand the magnitude of their different contributions to the overall drag, and see how we can ...

Thanks to the rapid progress of information technology and artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles (AVs) have been ...

Managing air resistance through aerodynamic truck upgrades can reduce a long-haul vehicle’s total fuel consumption by 10%, on ...

“Externally mounted sensors significantly increase aerodynamic drag, particularly by increasing the proportion of ...

External sensors on an autonomous vehicle cause drag that can be reduced, found Wuhan University of Technology researchers.

Adjustable aerodynamic appendages can reduce drag to allow higher top speeds as and where possible. Read more at straitstimes ...

Curiously, we hear less about aerodynamic performance in the 2020s than we did a decade or so ago. In the 1980s, Audi even went through a period of proudly printing the Cd, or drag factor ...

The idea behind the odd configuration is simple: allowing air to pass through ... which is an astounding reduction in aerodynamic drag - and an equally astounding boost to efficiency.

Aerodynamics, to put it simply, is the analysis of the forces and resulting motion of objects in the air. It concerns the four forces of flight (lift, weight, thrust, and drag), fluid dynamics, gas ...
