文档介绍:Aerodynamics Features of the F1 Vehicle
Front wing and nose cone assembly
The front wings on the car can produce 25-40%
of the cars downforce. Each front aerofoil is
made a mainplane (1) running almost the whole
width of the car suspended from the nose (4).
Onto this are fitted two aerofoil flaps (2), one on
each side, which are the adjustable parts of the
wing. These flaps are usually made of one piece
of carbon fiber, but Ferrari has used two small
flaps rather than one large one. On each end of
the mainplane there are endplates The wing flap on either side of the nose cone is asymmetrical. It
reduces in height nearer to the nose cone as this allows air to flow into the radiators and to the
underfloor aerodynamic aids. If the wing flap maintained it's height right to the nose cone, the
radiators would receive less airflow and therefore the engine temperature would rise. The
asymmetrical shape also allows a better airflow to the underfloor and the diffuser, increasing
downforce. The wing mainplane is often raised in the center. This again allows a slightly better
airflow to the underfloor aerodynamics, but it also reduces the wings ride height sensitivity

moved closer to the chassis, the
front wings overlapped the front
wheels when viewed from the fr
