I don't want them to fly at 35000ft!
Currently they have this wing shaped in such a way as to keep it from flying off the road anyway, and this inevitably creates rolling friction. But why should they waste energy on this?
- pingswept 16y agoSolar car aero shells are designed for zero lift, not to press the car into the ground or take off. This is the minimum energy usage. It's true that you could reduce your rolling resistance by making a car with positive aerodynamic lift, but doing so would make you dissipate more energy in the air than you would save.
