Aerodynamics: Ford Vehicles Cheat the Wind, Helping Drivers to Beat the Pump (F)

Aerodynamics: Ford F Vehicles Cheat the Wind, Helping Drivers to Beat the Pump. Fuel economy improvements can result from reducing friction and drag – not only within engines and transmissions, but as air flows over and around the vehicle as it efficiently skims through the atmosphere at cruising speeds. Wind tunnel development time enables Ford engineers, aerodynamicists and designers to optimize vehicle fuel efficiency Aerodynamics help Ford vehicles achieve class-leading or unsurpassed fuel efficiency in each segment where they compete The all-new Ford Focus employs an innovative active grille shutter system to help deliver up to 40 mpg highway by improving aerodynamics
