I don't think the RedBull stalls its rear wing by rotating the whole car around the front axle by 0.5-1.0 degree at speed.SR71 wrote:Just_a_fan wrote:Yes, it's a silly hypothesis. I was merely showing SR71 where the article said what he claimed it didn't. He appears to be the only person who believes in squat-stalling rear wings.
really? so you're on record saying its impossible to stall a wing by rotating it down? confirm or deny...
Does the RedBull feature such a deeply cambered rear wing? Bear in mind that the flap element changes the whole effective profile of the wing. Your earlier illustration missed that out if I remember correctly.SR71 wrote: Yes you can if the wing profile features a deep camber line and the angle change breaks laminar flow on the top surface.
And you haven't provided evidence that they are. The article that started this isn't exactly a qualified source.SR71 wrote:
Let's also be clear not one forum member has presented evidence (you'd need RB's actual wing profiles, which you dont have) that they arent doing this... just a bunch of typical handbag swinging nay-sayers.
F1 wings do not function like the wings of an aircraft. Laminar flow over them is (mostly) irrelevant.SR71 wrote:Yes you can if the wing profile features a deep camber line and the angle change breaks laminar flow on the top surface.

I don't think Red Bull will be eager to share too much information with Renault once they show the slightest hint that they may become competitive.carisi2k wrote:The details on the rb6 are mind blowing. It would be amazing to see how it compares to the Renault. I wonder if Renault will take any lessons from Red Bull for their 2017 car.
Well, for the moment, I wouldn't exactly call Red Bull a customer team. Since currently they're the only chance for Renault to see their PU doing well, I should imagine that they're treated pretty much as a works team... for now.gandharva wrote:The PU packaging is awesome. Even more when you consider this is not a works-team.
I was thinking more along the lines of Renault learning from photos taken such as those above as to how to package the car properly. They are a customer team as they are paying $30 million euro or something for engines.DiogoBrand wrote:I don't think Red Bull will be eager to share too much information with Renault once they show the slightest hint that they may become competitive.carisi2k wrote:The details on the rb6 are mind blowing.

Seems to me that they have slightly moved to the outwash design?
