If there is a detail on the exterior of a modern car, it is likely there for a very important reason, which leads us to a commonly asked question: Why the heck is there a random plastic flap that ...

The random-looking bumps on the humpback whale's flippers have just inspired a breakthrough in aerodynamic design that seems likely to dramatically increase the efficiency and performance of wind ...

Aerodynamics is one of the biggest things car companies have to keep in mind for automotive design, speed, handling, and fuel efficiency. For nearly 100 years, automotive engineers have thought to ...

Inertia preaches that things will keep quiet or in motion if no external forces mess with them. When carmakers try to fight aerodynamic drag, they are trying to make inertia work as it should.
