Aerodynamics is the study of how objects move through air. This is best illustrated by one word...Aptera.

Lots of car companies talk about low drag vehicle designs and aerodynamic shapes. Aptera, though, is the only manufacturer to truly embrace aerodynamics as an anchor of its design philosophy. Alberto Morelli would be proud of us.

Proper aerodynamic design enables creation of the most energy efficient vehicles the world has ever seen. It’s all part of our Efficient Vehicle Design Formula that insures we deliver world leading efficiency but never compromise the most important part of the car...You.

It is a little known fact that one of the biggest threats to highway fuel economy is the air.

At highway speeds the average car can use as much as 50% of its energy just pushing air out of the way. This concept is known among engineers as drag. Aptera is designing its vehicles to minimize aerodynamic losses so your energy is spent moving your car down the road…instead of stopping at gas stations.

Our goal is to cut the drag of a normal car in half. In fact, side-view mirrors on some cars cause more aero drag challenges than an entire Aptera vehicle. So, we actually don't have to worry about blowing away the competition. We’ll let the air do that for us.
