对美国流体动力阻力和/或空气动力阻力的作用及其与能源使用的关系进行了评估。现有数据表明，美国总能源消耗的16%用于克服运输系统中的空气动力学阻力。将现有的压阻降低技术应用于美国境内的所有地面车辆，每年将减少200亿美元的能源成本。
An assessment of the role of fluid dynamic resistance and/or aerodynamic drag and the relationship to energy use in the United States is presented. Existing data indicates that 16% of the total energy consumed in the United States is used to overcome aerodynamic drag in transportation systems. Application of existing pressure drag reduction technologies to all ground vehicles within the United States will reduce yearly energy costs by 20 billion dollars.
