The 1958 Saab 93 arrived at a moment when most family cars still treated the air as an afterthought, yet it was shaped by ...

Aerodynamic shape optimization and design sits at the intersection of fluid mechanics, computational modelling and advanced optimisation algorithms. This field seeks to refine the contours of ...

Pickup trucks have never been more central to American driving, yet their boxy shapes still fight the air at highway speeds.

The auto industry is making a major move to smaller gas engines and electric vehicles, but changes in how cars are powered alone won't be enough. Our vehicles will need to become more efficient in ...

Wayne Koester was pleasantly surprised. Koester, who was a Ford aerodynamicist at the time, had been assigned to turn the popular boxy Fairlane design study that was introduced at the 2005 Detroit ...

As emissions standards get tougher, manufacturers are being forced to think outside the box in the quest for better fuel economy. One of the obvious areas to focus on is aerodynamics, where small ...

The case for streamlined cars isn't new - for decades, mankind has searched for higher top speeds, especially in racing. And because aerodynamics is by far the most dominant force to overcome at high ...

At the top end of a sport like cycling, every tiny advantage can make all the difference, whether it’s saving a gram on an ultralight bottle cage or tweaking a pedal stroke for that little bit more ...
