2. Drafting (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drafting_(aerodynamics)

   As the second car nears the first, it pushes high-pressure air forward so less fast-moving air hits the lead car's spoiler. The result is less drag for both cars, allowing faster speeds. [3] Handling in corners is affected by balance changes caused by the draft: the leading car has normal front downforce but less rear downforce.

3. Ground effect (cars) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_(cars)

   When a car moves over the ground, the boundary layer on the ground becomes helpful. In the reference frame of the car, the ground is moving backwards at some speed. As the ground moves, it pulls on the air above it and causes it to move faster. [dubious – discuss] This enhances the Bernoulli effect and increases downforce.

4. Blackbird (wind-powered vehicle) - Wikipedia

   Upwind: the rotor harvests power from the oncoming air and drives the wheels, as would a wind turbine. Downwind: when the vehicle is traveling faster than the windspeed, the ground is the fastest-moving medium relative to the vehicle, so the wheels harvest the power and impart it to the rotor, which propels the vehicle.

   A flying car or roadable aircraft is a type of vehicle which can function both as a road vehicle and as an aircraft. As used here, this includes vehicles which drive as motorcycles when on the road. The term "flying car" is also sometimes used to include hovercars and/or VTOL personal air vehicles. Many prototypes have been built since the ...
