aerodynamics


A key consideration when designing a vehicle body are the aerodynamics, which have an impact on fuel consumption, top speed and acoustic levels. The drag coefficient (Cd value) as measured in the wind tunnel sums up the vehicle’s aerodynamic qualities. A number of variables influence the Cd value, including the vehicle shape (saloon, estate or hatc [..]
