«You often hear space starts at 100 kilometers — that's based on where aerodynamic forces start having an effect to where you can actually control your [craft] with wings,» Jesse Gossner, an orbital - mechanics engineer who teaches at the US Air Force's Advanced Space Operations School, told Business Insider.

For some classes of racing vehicles, it may also be important to produce desirable downwards aerodynamic forces to improve traction and thus cornering abilities.
