I was having a conversation about drag the other day on a road trip. Please let me know if I have the right idea here:
From what I recall the main or only driver in reducing drag is the frontal geometry of the vehicle. That means, if you were looking at the vehicle head on and were able to determine the projected surface area from that head on view - that's the area that determines your drag coefficient. To reduce drag you simply try to reduce that frontal-projected surface area. |
