Drag-reduction systems aren't anything new; they've been a staple of racing cars for ages, and shown up on but it seems ...

The point of drafting in NASCAR is to reduce aerodynamic drag, allowing cars to go faster with less engine power by usin ...

Lamborghini's engineers are working on a version of drag reduction. But this is Lamborghini, so it won't be the simple wing-wagging of the DRS system you might find on a Ferrari, McLaren, or some ...

The Aptera was conceived to be the most aerodynamic production EV in the world. When it was still in its first prototypes, the company said its drag coefficient was 0.13, the lowest we have ever heard ...

Aerodynamic drag reduction remains a pivotal area in automotive design, balancing fuel efficiency with performance and safety. Advances in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, experimental ...

F1 races can be won or lost by taking advantage of the Drag Reduction System. But what is DRS in Formula 1 and how does it work? Getting an edge in Formula 1 means building a car that can take ...

The re-profiled wing-to-body fairing of the ADL package improved airflow over the aft fuselage. Photo Credit: ADL As airlines face what is said to be the highest jet fuel prices in two decades, ...

Pore-scale mechanisms of drag reduction by micro-blowing have rarely been explored. A direct numerical simulation (DNS) study, published in the Chinese Journal of Aeronautics, is performed to uncover ...

AAR Corp. is confident that its growing partnership with drag reduction kit developer Aero Design Labs (ADL) will prove lucrative as Boeing 737 operators sign up for the new kits and similar ...

Boeing is investigating the use of oscillating jets of air at certain locations on an aircraft wing to significantly reduce drag and consequently boost speed or fuel economy for high speed cruise, ...

To me, “you don’t know what you don’t know,” is one of the more irritating catchphrases in the English language. It’s cliché masquerading as wisdom and the people who use it tend to be self-help gurus ...
