Reverie Universal Fit 225mm Chord Front Wing Data

Designed for ReVerie by aerodynamics writer and designer Simon McBeath (author of Competition Car Aerodynamics) using Ansys CFD-Flo software. Data and images generated by the CFD software are displayed below. The wing profile was designed to give a range of downforce levels from moderate to reasonably high, depending on the deployed angle of attack and chosen span, with very good efficiency in terms of downforce to drag ratio. The wing features internal longitudinal stringers and end spars with 2x M6 threaded inserts for mounting between supports or for affixing end plates.

You may be asking youself where to position your front wing. If you look at the front wing in ground effect data you will see that there is a sharp rise in downforce from ground effect when the wing gets below 100mm to the ground. To keep the car stable & predictable over bumps or under heavy braking, it is advisable to mount the wing 100mm or higher so its operating in a more linear & predictable region.

 225mm Front Wing Data Results:

1700mm data given was as produced by Ansys CFD-Flo software, all other widths have been calculated only using the wing width approximation formula found in our FAQ document.

* Data marked in red show that the wing has either stalled or was close to stalling and has been omitted from the graphs *
