My question is, it's possible to build a bottom for the car that also improves the aerodynamics?
any tips?
this is going to be like another little subproject, like the nose and the suspension.
thank you!
edit:
i have designed that so far, it's ok? the diffuser has to be 5 degrees for optimum drag? |
*McLAREN claims an advantage with having the entire belly inclined (raked),with ground clearance increasing slightly as it proceeds aft.They offer no specifics.
*Otherwise,for a diffuser,starting where your illustration shows,the lowest drag is at 4-degrees upslope.
