Stiffness and Layout Tailoring of a Morphing High-lift System with Aeroelastic Loads

Aeroelastic tailoring using lamination parameters: Drag reduction of a Formula One rear wing

The aim of the present work is to passively reduce the induced drag of the rear wing of a Formula One car at high velocity through aeroelastic tailoring. The angle-of-attack of the rear wing is fixed and is determined by the required downforce needed to get around a turn. As a result, at higher velocity, the amount of downforce and related...
