Had been an automotive enthusiast all life, safe to say this video is one of those gems on the internet that address the complicated topics with such simplicity and refined knowledge. Totally impressed. - fellow enthusiast.
Why people still say rear wing and a spoiler are the same thing, they both serve a different purpose. A rear wing produce downforce, whereas a spoiler is used to reduce drag, please do research before putting anything in the internet. Rear wings are what you see in a F1 car Spoilers are mostly seen in super cars like the PORCHE 911.( A small protrusion that runs along the width at the rear)
there is one point that is not mentioned in that video. although, it might be for more advanced levels: in the case of a multiple wing profile, like most high downforce cars have, shall we consider the multiple profiles as a single wing, or do we take them as separate pieces?
Very helpful video. I did not know that the attack angle had an optimum angle. Additionally, I did not know that louvers on the side air dams helped to generate down force. If you want to gain every advantage you've got to find and figure these things out. Thanks.
so with that said... how much ndoes it mattern "where" on the trunk youm position the wing? In front of edge of trunk, even with it, or hanging out behind the edge of trunk?... mImwould expectn it does matter correct? What is the optimal position generally
Great vid! I have a small duckbill spoiler that came with my Audi rs3. I recently added a rear wing which hangs directly above the spoiler. Is that setup fine or am i introducing more drag? Should i remove the spoiler?
Thanks for watching! Adding a rear wing above your duckbill spoiler could potentially create more downforce, but it's essential to consider the overall aerodynamics. If both elements are designed to work together, you might be enhancing stability and performance. However, if they weren't intended to be used together, it could lead to increased drag.
