Ever since the oil crisis of the mid 1970s, car manufacturers have become increasingly concerned with aerodynamic improvements in car design as the route to greater fuel efficiency. Aerodynamics has changed from a black art into a highly developed science which now plays a key role in the marketing of every new car design.
This is the first in-depth and comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of aerodynamics in car design. Based on extensive research with Europe's leading manufacturers, including Ford and Volkswagen, this is the only up-to-date account of industry techniques and future trends. Particularly important sections of the book cover the mechanics of air flow and the applications of wind tunnels.

This is a book that no car enthusiast or engineering student can afford to be without.

Geoff Howard graduated from Imperial College, London, with an honours degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1958, since when he has worked in the aircraft and auto industries, as well as spending 12 years on the staff of Autocar magazine as a technical writer. He is currently a freelance engineering journalist contributing to many magazines and newspapers around the world. As well as being a keen analyst and observer of the technical aspects of car design for nearly 30 years, he has taken a particular interest in aerodynamics with first-hand experience inside and outside the industry.

The front jacket shows the latest Volkswagen Golf in the Wolfsburg wind tunnel during development using smoke trail visualization techniques to determine the air flow pattern over the upper surface of the bodywork.
