996 cup wing is designed to fly in the slip stream (dirty air). some rules limit wing height due to the obvious advantage that clean air offers. that 996 wing is a serious engineering feat. I think they were limited on surface area also. clean air wing design is simple when compared to a successful low wing design
that air exit type is well proven in 917, GT40 ect...I want to do my v8 radiator exit that way Roger's wing is huge AND he runs a Gurney flap, wow. notice how flat he runs the angle of incedence while 286, 13 and 170 run a steep angle. when we measured force I was astonished at how quickly it ramps up above 120 mph even with little incedence. who's rule book do you build to? |
