aerodynamic drag

Three freighter operators are among the early adopters of an innovative aircraft coating inspired by sharks that makes aircraft more aerodynamic and fuel-efficient.

he microgeometry of a shark’s skin reduces friction and allows it to move faster in the water. Lufthansa Cargo is applying that same capability to its aircraft to save fuel in a fascinating case of man copying nature.

Here are some common effects of winter weather on fuel economy.

Here’s a look at the impact of drag on your drive.
