| Aerodynamic coefficient (Cx) |
|
A measurement that expresses the effectiveness of a body that has to move through a fluid. It is the result of comparing the resistance that is given by a plate placed across an air flow (coefficient 1) with that offered by a vehicle body. The lower the coefficient. the lower the air resistance. the symbol is Cx.

| Aerodynamic drag |
|
The force that air has when crossed by a body is called in this way. This resistance depends on the friction coefficient of the vehicle chassis (Cx). on its front surface and on the square of the relative speed between the vehicle and the air.
