On October 1988, during the UtahSalt Flat Racers Association World of Speed event at the Bonne-ville salt flats, the SE Race craft team of Karl Staggemeier and Gary Eaker broke the existing record for ...

$29.5 million investment expands capability of world-class Stellantis wind tunnel with Moving Ground Plane (MGP) technology to reduce drag and boost EV range Introduces capability to measure and ...

A study published in Advances in Wind Engineering reported a new approach to reduce aerodynamic drag in next-generation high-speed trains, potentially enabling more energy-efficient operation at ...

The Experimental Aerodynamics Laboratory (xAERO Lab) is housed within the Wind Tunnel Building (WIND) on the CU Boulder East Campus and is a part of the Sustainability, Energy, & Environment Community ...

AAs surprising as it may seem, this is a typical road load power required relationship to vehicle speed. As rolling resistance and aerodynamic loading increase, so does the amount of power required to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Model cars are one of the fundamental building blocks of a budding car enthusiast. Nearly everyone who shares the obsession also had (and possibly still has) a sprawling collection of die-cast model ...

Body Rocket, a startup responsible for producing drag measurement systems for time trial and triathlon bikes, has released details of a prototype, road bike-compatible system designed to help its ...
