Individual Project: Front Wing Design for a Formula Student Car

This video is a summary of my third year individual project, as part my MEng Mechanical Engineering with Aerospace degree at the University of Southampton
Thank you to Professor Ralf Deiterding, Lee Shaun Theodore, and the Southampton University Formula Student Team

Can you create a video/timelapse of how you modeled those complex wings? They look amazing

[@markmrabu9032]

Really cool getting to see each iteration change & the reasoning behind it. Great video

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words, looking back on it 2 years later there’s so much stuff I know now that I wish I’d put into it!

S1223 is crazy, we use that on our car as well

[@aj.k]

S1223 is insane, our team did a huge study testing hundreds of different wings and it cleared every other cross section at the speeds we were testing at!

[@happysimmo1375]

Did you ever do a study on MSHD profile? ​@@aj.k

[@alaybey9771]

This would be extremely hard and costy to manufacture

[@aj.k]

Hahaha definitely!! perks of doing a completely theoretical project you can go crazy! As part of SUFST that year we did also produce and manufacture a much much simpler design with those considerations in mind, with some of the lessons of this project incorporated into the design
