- Drag Reduction System
Drag reduction system development with the aid of CFD testing. The drag coefficient more than halves for the open configuration vs the closed configuration. Lowering from 0.06652 to 0.03109, a percentage decrease of 53.262%. The lift coefficient decreases from -2.009 to -1.415 for this change in configuration, a percentage decrease of 29.57%.
