How does aerodynamic drag work, and why should we care?
‘Aerodynamics is basically a measure of how much energy it takes to move through the air at a certain speed,’ explains Jamie Lowden, performance engineer. ‘In becoming more aero you can either move at the same speed but for less effort, or go faster for the same effort.’
However, getting aero isn’t always the be all and end all, says director of AeroCoach, Dr Xavier Disley.
‘Aerodynamic drag kicks in above a specific speed and the proportion of the resistive forces that are slowing you down increases the faster you
