“…When an object moves through the air, it reacts to aerodynamic forces. Aerodynamics is the way that air moves around an object or thing that passes through the air (George, 2009). An object moving through the air is considered to be in flight and therefore will respond to the four forces of flight which are lift, weight or gravity, thrust and drag.…”

The study on aerodynamics of politics and stability of statecraft in the Nigerian project sought to explain the stability of statecraft in the Nigerian project from the perspective of aerodynamic stability of an aircraft. The purpose was to examine the stability of statecraft in the Nigerian project from the backdrop of aerodynamic stability of an aircraft in flight. Its adopted methodology was hinged on the conceptual and historical frameworks as well as strategies of inquiry such as grounded theory. The study was anchored on the systems approach theory for its theoretical framework. It established that statecraft responded to political, economic and environmental forces similar to aerodynamic forces acting on the surfaces of an aircraft. It also identified the fuselage of the aircraft as akin to the constitution of the state in statecraft. It concluded that the Nigerian project statecraft will attain greater stability if it were restructured to conform to the semi-monocoque-fuselage statecraft constitution of 1963.

“…Yet the inevitable tyre slips generated by all tyre forces on roads, resulting in power dissipation, have been paid little attention; meanwhile, little research has been found from the literature to focus on four steering angle allocations to enhance vehicle lateral stability and reduce power dissipation during various cases without traditional geometric steering angle allocation. Through tyre rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag can also produce power losses [13,14], the power dissipation because of tyre slips can manage to decrease if the control method on four steering angle allocations is properly designed under cornering occasions. An integrated control scheme with active front wheel steering and direct yaw moment is proposed by using a triple-step non-linear method, in order to enhance the stability of the electric vehicle [15].…”
