Engineers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have proposed reshaping heavy vehicles such as semi-trucks to be more aerodynamic. This new continuous design could significantly reduce ...

A prototype telescope designed and built by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers has been launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida to the International Space Station (ISS). The ...

Company completes a flight campaign with a demonstrator drone that it says validates its core airframe technology.

Cars are built to be most fuel efficient at a specific speed. The faster you go, the more gas you use to maintain that speed.

The Utility Aerodynamic Tail is designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce aerodynamic drag on dry van and refrigerated trailers. Utility Trailer Manufacturing has introduced the Utility ...

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 ...

The next generation of electric vehicles is taking the art of reducing aerodynamic drag to a new, much lower level. Not since the low-slung, streamlined General Motors EV1 from the late 1990s and the ...

The 2015 Ford F-150 arrived last year with a greater focus on fuel economy than any previous generation of the best-selling full-size pickup truck. Its weight-saving aluminum body and available ...

Scientists in Europe researching aerodynamic forces have opened up some interesting new avenues of study inspired by fish scales. This new understanding of the flow patterns over the surface of the ...

Tesla recently confirmed that the base version of the Model 3 will be able to travel over 215 miles on a single charge with a battery pack “smaller than 60 kWh”. The relatively small battery capacity ...
