Filling the holes on the highway: Bottom-line boosting aerodynamics. Jack Roberts (CCJ) Dec 31, 2015. Updated Jan 6, 2016. Stemco manufactures TrailerTail boat-tail aerodynamic devices.
In 1956, B. G. de Bray, an aerodynamics expert at the UK’s Royal Aircraft Establishment, performed a series of wind tunnel tests to show how flat plates with holes in them performed in a moving ...
In addition, the holes allow the air flow to enter and leave the railcars, decreasing the drag on the railcar. The size and patterns of the holes are also considered a key parameter. For example, by ...
If an aerodynamic mud flap is not made of the right material, it won't last. It will crack, split and break because the holes act as stress points. Their performance in cold weather is even worse.
Another aerodynamic device that you will encounter are aerodynamic wheel covers. The purpose of these devices is to reduce drag and turbulence around the wheels. Manufacturers of these devices claim ...
There is more to aerodynamics than lift — think about the inlets and outlets that allow air to pass through the body of a car for cooling, like those in the front of the Achilles Radial G37 ...
“Active” means that these aerodynamic elements move around, not unlike the rear wing of a McLaren P1. Yet instead of a McLaren, Magna’s pop-up rear wing is being wind-tunnel tested on a Jeep ...
