Toyota going aerospace???

Maybe they have found a way to create huge amounts of lift in new ways in their disasterous attempts to make a competitive F1 car.

Who knows?

HAHA

I think Toyota just wants to be better than Honda as Honda has already gone into the commercial plane industry a few years ago.

Does the aero package look a little cluttered?

" The wing uses Honda's proprietary turbulence reducing laminar SMH-1 airfoil, which is rather thick but offers low drag at high speed. Also the nose is designed to generate laminar flow to reduce drag. Honda claims that these features, together with the fuel-efficient HF-118 engines, achieve a 40% higher fuel efficiency. "

I often wondered what a modern F1 car would look like if they were to take the wheels off, and put some wings and a jet engine in it. Obviously it would need to be a closed cockpit at that point, but I'm sure it would be hella fun to fly...

As long as it wasn't made by Honda/Toyota/Red Bull, due to their high rate of mechanical failure...

Maybe Honda wanted to have the fastest plane , 'cause the RA107 and maybe RA108 are away to be considered the fastest in F1 .

If they could not finish first in the race
they can at least arrive first in the place ( of the circuit )
