Bernoulli's principle
It states that with the increase in velocity of air at a point the pressure decreases
In simple if velocity of air increases at a point the pressure drops at that point
The air craft works on the principle of Bernoulli's
The total concentration of the aerodynamic design revolves around minimizing the drag force and maximizing the downforce
Base of Formula one car
By rotating the air craft wing by 180 degrees we can produce design of the base
The lift here is negative lift and is called downforce here
The downforce helps to maintain the stability of the car
Front wing
The front wing is the first part which come
into contact with the air
It helps in effective compression of air
Underneath the body of the car
It generates about 40% of the total
Downforce generated in motion
Lower the height of front wing from the
ground higher the downforce
Conclusion
Without aerodynamics the stability of car cannot be possible
A minute change in aerodynamic structure can show the difference of win or loose
Without the aerodynamics the sport formula one can never become a nail biting
entertainer
Every team in formula one is ready to spend 400 million dollars of money every year
towards aerodynamics of the car by which any one can imagine how important aerodynamics is
