Need material for paper on front wings.

[shaurya]

Hi, I'm new here and I noticed the great deal of knowledge you guys have about aerodynamics and stuff.

//I hope I've posted in the right forum... this seemed the most appropriate

For my term project, I'm conducting a literature review on the evolution of front wings of formula 1 cars.

I'm going to talk about contour improvements, rule changes, and addition of additional winglets and the impact of the changes.

I was wondering if you could direct me to papers, links and other information in this field that could help me in writing my review.

Thanks very much and have a nice day.

sorry is in french, but the timeline and photos at the end will give you an overview of at least the size and shape of the front wings over the years.

good luck

Thanks again.

Thanks 747heavy and flynfrog for the links. It's very kind of you.

Now the time for the paper submission is very close.

It would be great if you could direct me to more papers and useful links. Thank you very much.

Maybe you have to upload it somewhere else (like rapidshare) where we can download it and post a link to it.

But I dont know much of this stuff maybe someone else knows better.
