By calculating the loss of speed from when the pitch is released to when it crosses the plate, you can directly measure the drag coefficient on the baseball. I first wrote about the role of decreasing ...

For example, a person doing a mid belly flop has a drag coefficient of around 1, while a Ram 1500 pickup truck has a Cd of 0.36. So, it’s less about the size than the shape of the object moving ...

Tesla provides drag coefficient at 0.23. The total weight of the vehicle includes my weight, for a total of 4,225 lbs. A coefficient of rolling resistance of 0.01 is used.

Their findings suggested a drag coefficient of 0.43. So as soon as he heard Musk claim the production model's Cd had fallen to just 0.34, AirShaper CEO Wouter Remmerie and his team started ...

With a drag coefficient of just 0.21 Cd, the electric A6 Sportback has aero efficiency to rival most hypercars. It all comes down to clever design.

This is why the original EV1 had its pod-like shape with a long and partially tapered rear end, which helped it to achieve a Cd of 0.19, the lowest drag coefficient of any vehicle at the time ...

Tesla also can't claim that the Model S is the most aerodynamic production car ever, either. The General Motors EV1 and Volkswagen XL1 both boasted 0.19 drag coefficients, and the VW at the very ...
