Purpose

CR21 line item covering the aerodynamic wing mounting hardware.

Function

Split from CR22 onward into separate front wing mounts and rear wing mounting, the latter using aluminium swan necks for drag load, carbon rods for lift load and cables for lateral stability.

Design Process

No part-specific design process is documented. The Front wing subsystem design process applies: 1. 2D CFD sweeps in ANSYS to place elements and set angle of attack cheaply. CR26E ran 153 two-element and 148 three-element sweeps for the rear wing on the same method. 2. Move promising 2D results into a 3D half-car model at 35 mph, chosen as a representative competition corner speed. 3. Iterate in the half-car model, tracking CLA, CDA, CoP and tire drag in an iteration tracker. 4. Run the best candidates in the performance map (PMAP) full-car model for yaw, roll and cornering. 5. Validate on track with constant-speed testing, tufting and Flo-Vis oil.

Manufacturing Process

Milled on the CNC.
