In nature, the most aerodynamic shape is that of a drop of water, which has a coefficient of drag (Cd) of 0.05. Unfortunately, this is not a practical shape for a vehicle. An object's Cd, or how much ...

The Tesla Semi is certainly futuristic. However, this is not simply because it's a Tesla and it's supposed to be unique. Instead, it's designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, which is no easy feat ...

The next generation of electric vehicles is taking the art of reducing aerodynamic drag to a new, much lower level. Not since the low-slung, streamlined General Motors EV1 from the late 1990s and the ...

It’s long been accepted that the smoother the surface, the lower the aerodynamic drag. That turns out not always to be the case. Aerodynamic drag is a major “barrier” in high-speed airplanes, ...

Modern supercars are incredibly impressive and quick vehicles, and a lot of that comes down to the physics behind their increasingly complex designs.

For the 2022 season, Formula 1 race cars have aerodynamically smooth wheels, with flat covers attached across the previously open face. Their goal is to reduce the aerodynamic turbulence created by ...
