marshallmosty Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I know that many have laid down the groundwork for wings for racecar applications. I just don't know if any of the information regarding wing profile has been "declassified" so the average joe can use it for a DIY project. I have found a company that can CNC cut foam cores to any NACA profile, I just don't know where to start. I was thinking of a foam core with round aluminum support beams running the width of the wing. Foam in three sections (outboard,center,outboard) with an aluminum mounting cross-section in two places. Any help available? If it matters, it is going on my 2780lb AI car 290HP/302TQ. I know people talk about needing to have a bunch of power to push the aero down the straights. Maybe a smaller chord section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhiteh3 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 There is a good thread (possibly several) on http://www.corner-carvers.com/forums. Check it out.... but don't post unless you read the rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshallmosty Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Scott, I'm already a cc.com member (wht1992lx). I've seen several threads over there with DIY wings, but nothing talking about a specific profile. I know Paul Birds "Egocentric Self Fufilling Race Car Build" thread has a bit about his modified wing profile. It looks like I'm probably going to go with the Trans-AM spec profile just to keep it simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
