Pedestrian Safety

Similat to hitting deer. Better for both the impactor and impactee if the contact is below the center of mass. Add an optional hood-mounted air bag and you have a safety feature.

I see there's no changes to the understructure. So the air is divided between the wheelwells and radiator? Are you free to discuss the added speed holes?
Hi freebeard,

i like to make sure, that we are talking about the same thing.

I used a turbine flow meter to measure the fuel consumption at constant speed at driving.

The aerodynamic measurement were made in the FKFS aero acoustics wind tunnel.



Yes, I can talk about the airflow to the heat exchanger. The air intake is in front of the wheels and inside, the bumper is a expansion airbox. The speed of the air slows down and static pressure increases.
