Winglet and long duct nacelle aerodynamic development for DC-10 derivatives [PDF]
Advanced technology for application to the Douglas DC-10 transport is discussed. Results of wind tunnel tests indicate that the winglet offers substantial cruise drag reduction with less wing root bending moment penalty than a wing-tip extension of the ...

Aerodynamic shape optimization of a low drag fairing for small livestock trailers [PDF]
, 2008 Small livestock trailers are commonly used to transport animals from farms to market within the United Kingdom. Due to the bluff nature of these vehicles there is great potential for reducing drag with a simple add-on fairing.

Fuel Savings and Aerodynamic Drag Reduction from Rail Car Covers [PDF]
, 2008 The potential for energy savings by reducing the aerodynamic drag of rail cars is significant. A previous study of aerodynamic drag of coal cars suggests that a 25% reduction in drag of empty cars would correspond to a 5% fuel savings for a round trip [1]

A CFD-informed quasi-steady model of flapping-wing aerodynamics [PDF]
, 2015 Aerodynamic performance and agility during flapping flight are determined by the combination of wing shape and kinematics. The degree of morphological and kinematic optimization is unknown and depends upon a large parameter space.

Drag reduction obtained by rounding vertical corners on a box-shaped ground vehicle [PDF]
A box-shaped ground vehicle was used to simulate the aerodynamic drag of delivery vans, trucks, and motor homes. A coast-down method was used to define the drag of this vehicle in a configuration with all square corners and a modified configuration with ...

Commercial aircraft performance improvement using winglets [PDF]
FME Transactions, 2015 Aerodynamic drag force breakdown of a typical transport aircraft shows that lift-induced drag can amount to as much as 40% of total drag at cruise conditions and 80-90% of the total drag in take-off configuration. One way of reducing lift-induced drag is
