Not exact matches
For a start, it would have no wings, but would be a «
lifting body» — a flat, triangular shape that generates its own
aerodynamic lift.
In theory, the WEAV would be more stable than an aircraft — airplanes and helicopters,
for example — that rely on
aerodynamics to provide
lift.
For the 1987 model year, however, Ford dutifully reawakened both the Mustang and the 302 (a.k.a. «five - oh») with an
aerodynamic face -
lift and a 25 - hp bump, respectively.
Not only does this further reduce
lift at the front axle, it also provides downforce at the rear axle
for improved
aerodynamics and even better performance — combined with a surprisingly high level of comfort.
For example, the front fascia provides
aerodynamic benefits by reducing
lift and drag, while providing sufficient air flow to cool the 6.1 - liter HEMI V - 8 engine.
The result is reduced
lift at the front axle and increased downforce at the rear axle
for improved
aerodynamics and another boost in performance.
This new suspension is the Quadra -
Lift Air Suspension which offers you five separate height settings that can deliver as much as 10.6 inches of ground clearance or hunker down to make the Grand Cherokee deals an SUV with better
aerodynamics and improved fuel mileage
for the drive.
Normal Ride Height (NRH): 8.7 inches of clearance offers improved fuel economy as well as improved
aerodynamics during on - road driving Off - road 1:
Lifts the vehicle an additional 1.3 inches from NRH
for added height in clearing obstacles (10.0 inches) Off - road 2: Delivers legendary Jeep off - road capability and provides an additional 2.6 inches from NRH
for 11.3 inches of ground clearance Park Mode: Lowers the vehicle 1.6 inches from NRH
for easy ingress / egress.
Exterior Race - inspired exterior appointments that deliver enhanced performance
for the Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 include a fixed rear spoiler that results in reduced
lift and enhanced
aerodynamic balance at high speeds, and an integrated front fascia «chin» spoiler that reduces
lift while providing greater cooling air flow to the front bakes.
Thanks to enhanced
aerodynamic redesigns of the front grille and the rear diffuser and the unique spoiler, the Focus RS maximizes downforce while creating zero
lift for optimum high - speed handling.
With weight distribution effectively balanced
for a mid-engine concept (43 % front, 57 % rear), the center of gravity is just 491 mm from the ground and
aerodynamic downforce is 124 kg at 200 kph, aided by a competitive
lift - coefficient.
For example, the teams spent more than 350 hours testing the Camaro in the wind tunnel, meticulously tailoring the exterior to improve cooling and reduce
aerodynamic lift and drag.
For optimal stability, the system reduces
lift by a factor of three and produces the equivalent of 40 kg of rear downforce at very high track speeds without detracting from the car's carefully honed
aerodynamics designed to achieve a low CdA.
Not that they're simply there
for show: the
aerodynamic upgrades help to reduce
lift, which will be comforting if you're nudging 200mph on a German autobahn.
Adding a rear wing and a front splitter enabled the team to develop an
aerodynamic package
for the C6.R that produces a better
lift - to - drag ratio than its C5 - R predecessor.
The front bumper's carbon - fibre front splitter works to reduce
aerodynamic lift over the front axle, while each of the side intakes also sport small vanes
for added downforce, in an idea pioneered by Ferrari's 458 Italia.
SPOILER, FIBER - REINFORCED PLASTIC, PRIMED — Without LED light; Manufactured from impact resistant materials

Race proven
aerodynamics reduce
lift for high speed stability... now with that being said, Yes... the faster you go the more functional it becomes.
The new
aerodynamic - enhancement components lend the Lamborghini not only a more aggressive expression, but also reduce
lift on the front axle
for optimized handling stability at high speeds.
Sporty exterior tweaks improve
aerodynamic performance and reduce
lift — to keep the Nismo Leaf glued to the road
for more exciting handling, Nissan said Tuesday here in an preview of its show plans.
Fewer
aerodynamic lifts in front and rear and a lower centre of gravity, in combination with newly designed air springs and active roll bars, deliver surprisingly agile handling capabilities
for this super-luxury boulevardier.
