uFlash shape is dictated by high aerodynamics requirements. The current achieved aerodynamic drag coefficient is close to the theoretical limit and is Cx = 0.06. This value is almost 10 times better than that of the most advanced modern cars. Exceptional aerodynamic features allow for energy savings, too.
