The device would inflate at speeds of about 2,660 mph (4,280 km / h), providing enough additional drag to slow down the spacecraft to around 1,520 mph (2,445 km / h), at which point the big supersonic parachute would be deployed. (space.com)
These bits aren't just cosmetic — Mercedes claims they increase downforce without generating additional drag. (digitaltrends.com)
Fashioned from exposed carbon fibre, this revised front splitter and rear diffuser combine to deliver a meaningful reduction in frontal lift with a minimal penalty in additional drag. (astonmartin.com)
