Aerodynamic Drag

Speed, wind, air density, Cd, and frontal area determine the aerodynamic drag acting on a vehicle.

Drag area (CdA) combines a vehicle's drag coefficient and frontal area into one aerodynamic measure.

Vehicle width and height shape frontal area, which combines with Cd to determine aerodynamic load.
