How NASA Ames’ 80×120-foot wind tunnel became the beating heart of American aeronautics, testing everything from spacecraft ...

F1 races are often decided in milliseconds, but Red Bull’s advantage measures in whole seconds down the straights. With DRS, their speed delta can reach over 20kph, leaving rivals powerless to respond ...

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 ...

In recent years, the continuous increase in the speed of high-speed trains has led to growing concern about noise generated by train operations. Currently, three types of sound barriers are commonly ...

With a Cd of 0.23, the new, 362-hp A6 is almost as slippery as a Porsche Taycan, even though Audi had to design around an engine. Audi has achieved this by adding air curtains down the side of the new ...

The aerodynamic characteristics of a NACA0012 wing geometry at low Reynold’s numbers and angle of attack ranging from 0º to 90º are investigated using numerical simulations and the results are ...

A new benchmark for performance: Colnago introduces a cutting-edge aero bike designed to dominate in speed and efficiency. Colnago unveils the Y1Rs, a bicycle engineered to redefine aerodynamics in ...

Samson Sky just sharpened its Switchblade, improving the design aerodynamics of this novel three-wheeled, fixed-wing flying car. The improved design is the latest since the concept’s initial ...

For a car with such an abbreviated name, the McLaren W1 packs a vast amount of engineering tech. It’s also more advanced in some key areas than a contemporary Formula One car. That’s one hell of a USP ...

When it comes to the aerodynamics of automobiles, you may believe the more teardrop-shaped the vehicle, the more slippery it is. Conversely, you’d presume cars and trucks with squared-off, brick-ish ...

Lufthansa, Germany’s largest airline, is experimenting with using a synthetic material that mimics sharkskin to make its planes more aerodynamic, as part of its ongoing efforts to cut down on carbon ...
