They've moved away from the separate top element which most teams have moved towards and separated/cutout second element was visible on the same wing (?) at Saudi

That Bahrain one has a v cutout in the flap behind the DRS actuator.. a new wing entirely?quincalla wrote: ↑03 May 2024, 00:58organic wrote: ↑02 May 2024, 22:48Also the way the DRS flap merges with the rest of the RW structure is new isn't it?

I think it's this one from Bahrain (the mainplane of the one from Jeddah is more curved), but agreed on the rest.
Good eye! Also the distance from the actuator to the top flap is very different. It's either completely new or frankensteined from the Bahrain wing.organic wrote: ↑03 May 2024, 01:01That Bahrain one has a v cutout in the flap behind the DRS actuator.. a new wing entirely?quincalla wrote: ↑03 May 2024, 00:58organic wrote: ↑02 May 2024, 22:48Also the way the DRS flap merges with the rest of the RW structure is new isn't it?

The endplates, or where we used to have endplates, are much longer. Bahrain is high DF, the angle of attack of this rear wing looks at about 130 degrees, while Bahrain's was between 95 and 105 degrees.

Maybe just a new DRS flap + endplate corner. Main plane looks same to mediffuser wrote: ↑03 May 2024, 14:36quincalla wrote: ↑03 May 2024, 00:58organic wrote: ↑02 May 2024, 22:48Also the way the DRS flap merges with the rest of the RW structure is new isn't it?

Good compares? Can see the angel of attack in this pic.

The main plain, in this case doesn't do much. It's mainly flat, with a bit of a U shape. The biggest difference is the endplate corners and the angel of attack of the actual wing that opens for DRS.organic wrote: ↑03 May 2024, 14:42Maybe just a new DRS flap + endplate corner.
