F1 in schools - AD Falcons

[Ad FAlcons]

I tried ,,,,do u know why ?

[wesley123]

No offence, but do you even know wha you are doing?

Frontal area = The amount of bodywork you see in front view, minimalizing this reduces drag in general.

I would go for these semi-covered wheels, and the area between them as flat as possible.

take a look at this car
do you advice me to remove the endplate ???
and what about the space around the wheels ?

[Caito]

The wings seems as they're 180 around.

You need a wing with the lowest drag possible with no net lift or downforce.

A symmetric profile as flat as possible would get you there


With 0 angle of attack, of course.

Ad FAlcons, F1 in Schools projects come up pretty frequently on this forum, have a read though these threads to get some ideas:

Also, you can use google to search f1technical, since this site's native search functions are limited. Here's an example:

Hello everyone ,

I will design a new car from the scratch . It will be the final one because I want to manufacture it on sunday

So any last advices ???

Well, sorry, I have not much to say. I would say that the ramped wings should be better for wheel drag but I'm not sure.

I'm astonished by the lack of support from mods even when new members are asking "pretty please". It's painful to see how the threads about F1 in Schools have degenerated into nothing. I used to believe that moderators were here not only to erase OOT posts and profanities, but to encourage people to become members by enriching discussions, but it seems I was wrong: more members seem happy these days with fewer discussions and, alas, few original threads.
