Objectives of Aerodynamics in Cars
Influencing the way a car cuts through air
Adding down force
Reducing the drag

WINGS
The function of wings in F1
cars is opposite to that of an
aero plane.
The F1 car has primarily two kinds of wings –
Front wing
Rear wing

FRONT WINGS
Front wing of a formula one car consists of a main plane,
a pair of aero flaps and a pair of end plates..
Inside edges of the front wing endplates curved.
The front wing of a Formula One car creates about
25% of the total cars down force.

REAR WING
About 30% of the car's total down
force can come from the rear
wing assembly.
Made up of 2 sets of aerofoil
connected to each other by
wing endplates.
Endplates prevent the air from
spilling over the sides of the
wings.

DIFFUSER
Situated at the underside of the car behind
the rear axle line.
Consists of many tunnels and
splitters to control airflow.
Maximizes suction effect thus
increasing down-force.
Diffuser of a Williams F1 car

BARGE BOARDS Mounted between front wheels and side-pods.
Main purpose- Smoothen and direct the airflow coming
from the front wheels.
They have contours to direct airflow in different
directions.
