We know very well how overcoming wind resistance is to modern day
transportation. A not so aerodynamic shape costs us speed, fuel and in
some cases effort, if the vehicle is propelled without the use of an
engine.
Massive research campaigns, hundreds of scientists and mechanics and
millions of dollars have been laboured with the task to create the
ultimate aerodynamic shape.
Wind tunnels and complex computer-aided calculations have benefited
the automotive industry for years to create some of the most powerful
and efficient vehicles in the world.
The F1 Championship is the top of the chain in vehicular construction and development.
All this said, the question of aerodynamics still lies unanswered.
While we do become a lot better and versed in this field, we've yet to
completely break free of wind resistance.
