Cloud supercomputers rule our AeroX fastback cap to be a drag-reduction success—but does the wind agree? As you might recall, ...

The result was an impressively low drag coefficient of 0.28 and that was much, much less than other cars of the time, which were usually closer to 0.8. In fact, the car is so slippery that it ...

detailing parameters such as lift coefficient (CL), drag coefficient (CD), Reynolds number range (100,000–500,000), and Ncrit value of 9. Assumptions regarding steady-state laminar flow and zero Mach ...

On today’s episode of “For Science!” we explore the concepts of Thrust, Lift, and Drag by conducting the ring airplane experiment. Cut the paper into 1 inch strips. Using two strips ...

One of the turns was a 90-degree elbow of essentially zero radius that came at the ... Add lots of horsepower and an airfoil with a maximum lift coefficient of two, and then…off to the races!

Moving the throat towards the outlet increases lift, drag, and pitching moment ... achieves a fivefold increase in l/d ratio at zero angle of attack. This study also investigated the pitching moment ...

All of the experiments were conducted at zero sideslip angle. This experimental setup ... calculated using the results of 6 individual tests. The uncertainty of lift coefficient, drag coefficient and ...

the Zero Lift Drag, Cd0, which depends on shape and surface area; the wave drag, which depends on Mach number, area distribution and lift; and the induced drag, which depends on lift coefficient and ...

The GMC Hummer SUV can lift itself to 16 inches. It has a listed drag coefficient of .335cd. For comparison, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a drag coefficient of 0.21cd. Lower is better. On the ...
