In a series of evaluations that began in October and ended last
week, subtle shape-shifting by the wing's trailing edge minimized
fuel-wasting air resistance, or drag, at a variety of altitudes, speeds,
wing angles, and other conditions, says aeronautical engineer Russell F. * The 306-hp VQV6 is over 80% new, and sports a symmetric dual
intake system that reduces air resistance by 18%. For
example, air resistance coupled with gravity makes a downward pitch
break more sharply than a sideways one. |
