One could argue that the wind tunnel is an approximation of the full sized car, and in the wind tunnel they do test parts one by one at times, so it follows that brining incremental upgrades to the track is a more thorough way of testing a carefully selected group of parts as part of a big package, and feeding back data to the wind tunnel, so they can tune the whole package, and their tunnel in the most accurate way.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑22 May 2024, 16:55Increment updates have always left me curious, because aerodynamics don’t occur in isolation. You change one part and you effect everything downstream of it.
Incremental updates more read to me like fixing things more so that an “upgrade”.
They parts they select first to bring to track might be the more "tweakable" parts or the ones that have easier adjustment in the tunnel, or the ones that have a stronger effect on downstream flow... Is what I'm gonna guess.
It's exaclty in-line with the "incremental" philosophy that they have commited to now.
) but a geometrical shape that resulted from pronounced middle scoop at lower AoA turning to higher AoA mid-span, before going back to lower AoA around the endplate joint, to reduce the losses these wings are condemned to. You can see a similar, but less pronounced, feature on RB high-load wing too
