Testing and Improving Stability: Part 3
A collection of articles on aerodynamic modification at home, tests and results, and techniques for modifying airflow over your car| www.amateuraerodynamics.com
If you talk to someone with fixed wing experience about the effects of airspeed on a helicopter, you will get looked at like you’re from a different planet 👽 That’s because most fixed-wing aircraft are inherently stable. Helicopters? Not even close. This means most answers to aerodynamics-related questions just create […] The post Pushing Beyond Vne?

Chasing maximum cycling performance hinges on a critical issue in the philosophy of bike design. Which matters more: lightweight or aero? Cyclists and engineers grapple with this age-old question, navigating the delicate balance between shedding grams for uphill slogs and making the bike and rider as slippery as possible to prioritize aerodynamics on flat terrain. ...

There's no motorcycle on the planet like this one. British company White Motorcycle Concepts (WMC) has put land speed record holders on notice with a 2WD, hydraulically hub-steered electric motorcycle, designed around a giant hole. The company says the WMC250EV should be capable of more than 250…| New Atlas
There's no bike on earth remotely like the bizarre WMC250EV, an electric land speed racer built to slash aerodynamic drag by taking the radical step of tunneling a giant hole through the middle of it. The target speed is 250 mph (402 km/h), and its creators say its huge Venturi tunnel reduces drag…| New Atlas
Black magic, wishful thinking, and beating the air into submission: all terms that have been used at times to describe helicopter rotor blade aerodynamics. But it really doesn’t have to be that mysterious 🔮 We’ll go through the basics of all the aerodynamic forces acting on a helicopter blade, step by step, without all the| Pilots Who Ask Why ‣ Question • Learn • Master
The RedShift Quick-Release Aerobars allow cyclists to frequently switch between riding with or without aerobars. They are quite comfortable and reasonably adjustable, but the adjustability wasn't sufficient for me and I always leave my aerobars mounted, so the extra weight of the quick-release mechanism is unnecessary.| Ride Far
