Supporting sustainability in the aviation industry Engine strakes are just one feature of aircraft that helps drive aerodynamics, with wing tips being another (more clearly visible) design feature to reduce drag and improve how efficiently the aircraft flies. One of the most striking design features...
For example: Adrian tells us how he designed the brake duct and the associated wing on the RB8 with a picture. It allowed me to learn about the most advanced technology in the paddock. It also lighted up a new career path for me.When I was young, I wanted to be a firefighter, ...
Since wing-produced aerodynamics became an integral part of F1 car performance in late 1960s this has had a direct effect on how closely the cars are able to follow each other. But as engine parity in the era before 2014 meant teams could rarely rely on a major grunt advantage to start ...

Although rear wings are great for creating downforce, it does create a separation point at the end of a roof that allows the airflow to diffuse off into free airspace – in turn reducing a wing’s efficiency. This is where a vortex generator comes in. As the separation point is inevitabl...
Anybody can throw a picnic table on a trunk and call it good but some spoilers become a hallmark of the car they grace
Here are the backstories behind the emblems and logos of the world's most popular automakers, from Acura to Volvo and every brand in between.
as the aeroplane moves forward and, according to Bernoulli’s principle, this results into a difference of pressure: higher beneath the wing and lower above it. The pressure difference generates an upward force known as lift. Only if you genuinely grasp this relationship can you claim that you...
It eliminates possible confusion in the inbox. When left empty, the email preheader is populated by the first line of the body copy, which may show generic content like “This email does not display correctly; please check the online version.” It is always better to control what will be ...
What does the term 'sonic boom' mean? A sonic boom is the sound produced when an object, often today's supersonic aircraft, moves faster than the speed of sound. This rapid movement creates shock waves that manifest as a loud, booming noise. So, when you hear a sonic boom, it's oft...
