Aerodynamics is one of the key elements in the design of the car. It affects both the regulation of airflow and higher comfort, safety and lower fuel consumption due to lower fuel consumption. In the future, cars will change their shape, explained the Audi expert. Well, vehicles that change shape have already been introduced by motorists. This is no longer a science fiction.
Changing the coefficient of 0.01 can reduce average car use even by about half a liter of fuel.
Tesla with the model 3 predicts it will have a coefficient of just 0.21, which would be the best thing the car industry currently has when talking about serial cars.
The lower the coefficient of resistance, the lower the fuel consumption
The vehicle's resistance coefficient is very important for fuel consumption. Its value is measured in the wind tunnel. They place the car on a scale that measures his force when the wind blows. They express this force with a resistance coefficient. This number compares all vehicles of all shapes. Thus, different vehicles can be compared to each other.
The air coefficient in the car is influenced by even insignificant details, from the shape of the car's nose to wheels, mirrors, antennas, chassis and small routers, which direct the airflow with as few disturbances as possible by passing the car.
"Aerodynamics likes to have a rounded front part and an arched rear axle, ensuring that the chassis is as smooth and smooth as possible." The air flow travels through the refrigerator and drains under the chassis, as well as details such as optimization of wheels, mirrors And the exhaust system.
In the future, cars will change their shape
Today's serial cars have aerodynamic elements, such as lifting rear spoilers. Manufacturers are already thinking about the future. Audi has shown the vehicle a design with an extra roof spoiler, pull-out side wings and an active rear diffuser. As CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are becoming more and more important, because the range of electric vehicles is also important, the aerodynamics station is even more essential. Therefore, active elements will be very important in the future.
Ideas were born in nature in most cases
"The birds are seen as birds, but the birds have wings that are different from the air wing, they have static wings, and the birds adapt to the shape of any air flow situation. Bodies to reduce resistance. This is very often also in nature, "
