Like a rudder but about the cars c of g for lateral control, rather than yaw control?federicobernabei wrote:Hi Guys,
I'm an engineer and an automotive enthusiast from Italy.
I made a concept about an active aero device for race cars and I would like to know what you guys think about this.
The idea is centred about one or more vertical wings mounted on a vehicle which can produce lateral forces (left and right) over the center of gravity of the car. The force generated whilst cornering counterbalances part of the inertia force of the vehicle and reduces the total rolling moment.
With 2 vertical wings it is possible also to generate drag whilst braking and reduce the longitudinal load transfer.
The core of the idea is the controlling of the angle of attack of the vertical wing to keep the aerodynamic force always proportional to the inertia force of the vehicle.
How can I post some pictures or a presentation in PDF of my concept, can you help me?
