Ford F150 Aerodynamics - How to add more than 10% range!

For more information, visit or email info@ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this video, we’re going to improve the aerodynamics of America’s favorite pickup truck, the Ford F150. As a starting point, we used a highly detailed 3D scan of the latest version of the 2021 Ford F150, here in its hybrid version, provided by our partner A2MAC1. We uploaded this 3D scan directly to AirShaper, set the speed to 30 meters per second, added rotating wheels and launched a Regular Simulation. A few hours later, we could immediately spot a number of problem areas in terms of aerodynamics: - Right after the cabin, the flow separates and turns into a turbulent wake. Some of the flow tumbles down into the cargo bed and then hits the tail gate on the way out, again creating a wake. - The huge mirrors are without a doubt very practical and safe, but they also generate a lot of drag. - The underbody features many exposed components.
