ALI WINGS PROGETTAZIONE E APPLICAZIONE SU AUTO DA CORSA
THEIR DESIGN AND APPLICATION TO RACING CARS
After the wing profile revolution on racing cars starting in 1966 (1968 for Formula 1) and after the appearance of the ground effect in 1977, in cars defined as "wing-cars", aerodynamics has played a leading role on tracks.
In short, there has been a shift from the traditional study of downforce to the use of lift in order to increase the cornering speed of these vehicles.
In this new edition of the fundamental book that first appeared in 1991 - Ali / Wings - by one of the best-known engineers in the Formula 1 world, Enrico Benzing, this complex subject is approached with completeness and a simplified expression, in a way that is accessible to all.
The automobile-type wing is at the centre of the treatment, while the entire aerodynamic behaviour of the racing car, especially the single-seater, completes the overview, covering special features like the Magnus effect, the ground effect, the calculation of resisting power, and also wind tunnel issues.
Compared to the first edition, this second volume is completed by a specific chapter on CFD (fluid-dynamic computation).
Hundreds of drawings enrich this work, an indispensable starting point for those who wish to fully understand this complex and fascinating subject.
