How is he keeping his hat on? Mine flew away when I drove with the top down at just 30mph
I think having the cars’ wheels spin while in the wind-tunnel is important, as the shape of the wheel and just the rotation of the tire can influence how the air flows around it.
This is what I want to do with my life. Design the aero on cars. Specifically race cars
that XL1 is only so fuel efficient because it has been fiddled with to produce such low emissions
nah.. I don’t have any similar gif, but here’s a gif of a miata rowing
Can we see some functional area and diffusers at work?
You really put lots of effort into this! Great post
Y’all should make an article about how this kind of technology has changed over the years. I bet it would be a dynamic article.
