In today’s automotive world, aerodynamics are crucial: influencing every aspect of a car from performance to fuel efficiency, aerodynamics are taken into account at every step of the design process.

These days, everyone wants a car that looks sleek and is fuel-efficient. This is why so many car manufacturers are focused on making aerodynamic cars.

The good news is that recent advances in high-speed computer processors, precise controllers, and advanced lightweight materials allows for shape-shifting that wasn’t possible in past generations.

Auto makers are going with the flow to improve aerodynamics. ... Cars that change shape all part of the aerodynamic ... "The 0.23 drag coefficient is the second-best value for a production ...

For Vienna, three studies pointed to a V-shaped pack, Blocken says: a UK consultancy company’s tests of 110 formations using fluid dynamics simulations; his team’s own computer simulations of ...

Early studies found that a car with a teardrop shape yielded the best aerodynamics, ... Hybrids like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius still use a Kammback shape for its fuel-saving aerodynamic ...

Starting in the late 1960s, car designers with a superficial understanding of aerodynamics had a field day designing wedges. Many of the best-looking examples were prototypes that never made it to ...

A helmet designed for maximum ventilation won’t be the best in terms of aerodynamics, but an Australian researcher is working on a dynamic version that could offer cyclists both, by changing ...

“The most aerodynamic shape in the world is a drop of rain when it’s falling,” says Eggenspieler. “The front is a very big semicircle, then it smoothly joins back in a point.
