Thanks for recognition Kev. And mÿ congratulations for your engaging video. I am looking forward to following the ongoing story of your project as it unfolds. Re: Exciting the senses. I read somewhere that Ducati design their bikes with much of the motor and suspension visible. The styling impression they try to give is one of the bike bursting out from underneath the bodywork. Interesting thoughts from the company that builds some of the most evocative and curvaceous bikes you can buy.
The accessibility of parts to create engagement is honestly a really good point that I never thought about. It's a completely different experience when you can hear and see everything working together. Looking forward to watching the rest of this series!!
I think it is something that people into hot rods and motorcycles understand really well. Probably not the greatest thing for aerodynamics but it is great to see all the shiny stuff on display.
Nice video Kev, however, i beg to differ that a Top Fuel Dragster is really suitable for a drive to the shops. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Likewise mate. Starting to put these videos has already been fairly cathartic. Enjoying the proces of trying to collect ideas into a form that can be shown to others.
Fortunately no multi-element wings expected on a sportscar that is inspired by those from the 1950s. But it does depend on the shape of the elements in use, making sure that the slotgap formed acts as an effective nozzle. I can't tell by the username but I would have a guess that you might need to have a talk to some of the experts from ECU Racing around the time of the Habibi racing car. They can tell you stories of discussing slot gaps with the great Willam Toet.

Now I understand why you got a house that was both a quarter mile from both the shops and your workplace 😁
Damn I miss the FSAE forum discussions.

Hi Dr Kevin! I wonder how much the overlap and spacing of the multi element wings shoud be if the chordline of the airfoil is around 190 mm?

@@KevinHayward7thank you so much Dr Kevin
Does Dr Kev need to learn how to count?
If it is okay for Douglas Adams...
