Sentences with phrase «aerodynamic drag force»

Not exact matches

The main concerns of automotive aerodynamics are reducing drag, reducing wind noise, and preventing undesired lift forces at high speeds.

For a solid object moving through a fluid or gas, drag is the sum of all the aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces in the direction of the external fluid flow.

The main purpose of the airdam is to force air to flow around the car rather than under it in the interests of reducing aerodynamic drag and lift.

Most of the car's surfaces have aerodynamics signed on them, and we are aware that a car with such specs and job description would certainly need to cope efficiently with the aerodynamic down force at high speed without creating more drag even while it is diverting airflow over and under the car.

That's because aerodynamic drag is a powerful force that increases with the square of the speed, so as the speed doubles, drag quadruples.

This aerodynamic performance contributes to impressively low wind noise, aids fuel consumption and strong high - speed stability and, of course, is vital in ensuring ideal handling balance through optimising drag and lift forces.

A unique aerodynamics package, including underbody panelling to reduce drag, and a carbon rear wing improving down force over the rear axle, also gives the GP edition an unmistakable road - presence.
