Frontal Pressure And Aerodynamics

Size makes the vehicle more efficient because some parts affect a vehicles drag are the exterior body, the underside of the car, the wheel well trims and the wheel covers. There is also a measure that has to do with the cars’ amount of drag called drag coefficient rating. The lower the rating the better. Simply, it is good to have a small car to reduce even more force.

Basically, the more aerodynamics and the smaller the car is, the faster it will go through the wall of air hitting it (high wind speed). Aerodynamics can incorporate into our model car project because the smaller and the thinner the car is the better because the faster it will go and the less energy it will need.
