Make airflow visible with tuft testing!

The easiest, cheapest, and most accurate way of determining a car's aerodynamic flows is to tuft test. But to effectively do this, you must be able to interpret what the tufts are showing - and that's what this book covers. Using tufting, you can optimise vehicles for low drag, test wings and spoilers, and see how effective scoops and vents are - and all at zero cost.

And unlike many other aerodynamic test and modelling approaches, tufting gives detailed and accurate results in real-world conditions.

A great book that describes the subject of tuft testing very well. Dr Thomas Wolf, former Manager Aerodynamics, Porsche

An essential book if you're developing vehicle aerodynamics, especially for student race teams and amateurs working on their road and race cars. I've used tufting at all levels up to F1, and this book reveals the top tricks to getting the most out of this tool. Rob Palin, former lead aerodynamicist, Tesla
