Sauber Aerodynamics Chief to give Lanchester Lecture

[RAeS]

Willem Toet, Head of aerodynamics,SAUBER F1 TEAM will be delivering this year's Royal Aeronautical Society Lanchester Lecture at the University of Bristol on 17 July.

Willem’s lecture will address the engineering performance differentiators for a Formula 1 car and the difference aerodynamics can make to the performance of the car. The lecture will also consider the main research tools used for aerodynamic research, considering the strengths and limitations of each and how F1 teams view the relative merits of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD ) and wind tunnel testing.

The lecture will cover the above topic areas as well as providing human stories and links to the work of Lanchester.

Thanks for letting us know about this. It should be a fascinating lecture and a great example of the value of the UK's engineering Institutions.

All RAeS Lectures are free to attend and we welcome both Members and Non Members

I like this bit, for all we know some young schoolkid may attend who turns out to the next Adrian Newey.
