Its nose is specifically designed to spoil a wind effect associated with passing through tunnels, and it can deploy 'ears' that slow the train in case of emergency by increasing its drag. Some modern race cars employ a passive situational spoiler called a roof flap. The body of the car is designed to generate downforce while driving forward.
Sharknose is also the nickname of the Ferrari 156 F1 A three-unit set of Baldwin RF-16 locomotives owned by New York Central Railroad in 1958.. Sharknose is a term applied by railfans to the styling of several cab unit diesel locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works to the specifications of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
General parameters used for constructing nose cone profiles. Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile, shell or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance.
Automotive aerodynamics is the study of the aerodynamics of road vehicles. Its main goals are reducing drag and wind noise, minimizing noise emission, and preventing undesired lift forces and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds.
Drivers race on the apron at Chicagoland Speedway (the area between the white and yellow lines). aero cover See wheel shroud. air jacks Pneumatic cylinders strategically mounted to the frame near the wheels of a racing car, which project downwards to lift the car off the ground during a pit stop to allow for quick tire changes or provide mechanics access to the underside of the car for repairs.
"The strips were easy to use. You simply wash your face, wet your nose, dry your hands, apply the strip, let harden over 10–15 minutes, and remove. The process was easy, and I could feel the ...
The Peel P50 is in the Guinness Book Of World Records as the world's smallest production car. In 1966 Peel stopped producing cars, concentrating again on motorcycle fairings and – under the name West Marine Ltd. – on the construction of fiberglass boats, especially small fishing boats with outboard motors such as the Peel Inshoreman 18.
