Lamborghini's engineers are working on a version of drag reduction. But this is Lamborghini, so it won't be the simple wing-wagging of the DRS system you might find on a Ferrari, McLaren, or some ...
The Drag Reduction System (DRS) proved vital when it came to overtaking at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, with drivers all using it to great effect over the race's 57 laps. But what exactly is the ...
Drag reduction in turbulent flow systems is a pivotal area of research, with significant implications for reducing energy consumption and minimising greenhouse gas emissions across maritime and ...
You know how in racing games like Mario Kart, you can hit certain parts of the track to get a speed boost? Formula 1 has its own version of that. The drag reduction ...
With the 2025 season in the rearview mirror, Formula 1 is preparing for one of its biggest regulation changes in years. From 2026, the Drag Reduction System (DRS) will be replaced by Overtake Mode—a ...
The quest to reduce skin friction drag in supersonic flight has long focused on the turbulent boundary layer. Micro-blowing techniques show significant potential, but the pore-scale interaction ...
In nature, the most aerodynamic shape is that of a drop of water, which has a coefficient of drag (Cd) of 0.05. Unfortunately, this is not a practical shape for a vehicle. An object's Cd, or how much ...
