The 2026 rules will provide more electrical energy being available as part of the power unit – close to a 50:50 split with ...

It was a red Lamborghini Countach, parked with its scissor doors open to let the sunlight in, what most probably sparked Alex's love for cars. Even though he was less than three years old when he saw ...

As he hovered 50 feet above the runway in Plattsburgh, New York, Kyle Clark suddenly had a distinct sinking feeling. A literal one. He had full control just moments before, but his electric, ...

The post war era brought about a new wave of car design. Gas was cheap, engines were more powerful and, more importantly, more people had the money to buy cars. Car design had also evolved because ...

AERODYNAMICS have preoccupied bicycle designers since the early part of this century. The most advanced bicycles today are deployed in track racing. The recently unveiled SB II, or Superbike II, has a ...

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 ...

Develop best-practice skills in aerodynamics analysis. Aerodynamics, or the fluid dynamics of gases, deals with the flows observed in a wide range of transportation systems, such as airplanes, cars ...

While the Rivian R1T captured the attention of electric pickup truck enthusiasts last year, the Michigan-based startup still has a ways to go before its planned 2020 launch of both the truck and its ...

Several years ago, Reddit discovered an image that showed the aerodynamics of a cow. There’s nothing much for the average person to take from this picture, though we imagine it may be of note to a ...

One of the most exciting developments in modern performance cars is the increased use of clever, race-inspired aerodynamics. While it used to be that most street car spoilers were for decoration only, ...

To uncover the mystery behind the differences in motion, a team of researchers studied the aerodynamics of bird perching maneuvers and their implications for aircraft design. If you have ever watched ...
