The "Interesting Reading" thread

[viio]

Hi folks,

I had a bit of an idea while browsing today - I think we could use a Sticky thread where we can post little snippets of interesting articles regarding aerodynamics. I'll edit this first post to add articles as people suggest them.

Let me kick things off:

• 2012 Mercedes B-class low-drag champion

• Research paper: Reducing Aerodynamic Drag and Fuel Consumption

• Drag reducing details on Project Sipster

• Drag reduction of pickup truck using add-on devices

• Vehicle aerodynamics Michigan University

From first article, this is the best image I could find on the roof spoiler they talk about.

To my eyes, the Ford Fiesta did a better job of things, and it's a smaller car.
