Does anyone know anything about cd: fd: ?

[N12ck]

yes, what about them?

Cd is drag coefficient, Fd is drag force

[CottrellGP]

Any way of finding out DF? and is it best if there both really low?

[N12ck]

well, autodesk falcon is not a CFD program it is a flow visualiser, it is mainly for the automotive industry for people to check the drag and airflow on conceptual designs, I haven't yet worked out how to get downforce on this program, I don't think you can,

[CottrellGP]

Ok thanks anyway

[CottrellGP]

Big upgrade for Germany

Note: If people dont bother looking then it will probs be the last time i post

Yay, i'm not the only one who feels this way.

Nice smooth car Dan. Close up off endplate? What is it achieving?

Looking good overall, JEV might get first win.

Cheers Dom and ill put one up, are you on about front or rear?

[RicME85]

Interesting new nose
I think Dom means the front wing endplates, they look very ... different

[MIKEY_!]

looks like one small (half height) slot taking air under the wing, then a full height one like most outwash wings. nothing revolutionary, just a different take on the same old design me thinks. wouldn't be my choice for better performance however, the slots look too large particularly the rear one, interesting all the same.
