Abstract

This investigation was performed with the purpose of comparing the aerodynamic drag of an automobile as measured in a full scale wind tunnel with the drag as measured on the road. The final results show only small differences between the aerodynamic drag coefficients as measured in the wind tunnel and on the road with the procedure here described.
