This is a very good question. I've read something that now non-vertical loads are applied too.FoxHound wrote:And how would an improved load test be of any use when no current is running through the wing whilst it is being tested? Legal when tested, but fully flexing whilst racing.
The technologies Allen is talking about are very thin laminates at least the ones I have seen. Nothing that would take the force applied to an F1 wing. The article posted about is what I have been saying all along its just a clever laminate layup nothing to fancy. The 787 uses a similar process to get its wing tips to flex up under load.FoxHound wrote:Did we actually know 100% that those wires where for the reasons stated?
Can electrical currents not pass through it and create the environment suitable for flexing as per what James Allen is alluding?
As I said before, I looked in a couple of threads and couldn't not find suitable answers.
Fair enough, but we do not know this 100%. My question is why would you need an IR sensor at running through the nose in to the wing?flynfrog wrote:The technologies Allen is talking about are very thin laminates at least the ones I have seen. Nothing that would take the force applied to an F1 wing.
they use them to monitor tire temperatures. There are some pretty good pictures on here of the sensor.FoxHound wrote:Thanks Flynfrog.
