Aerodynamics Division

The Aerodynamics division, or “Aero” for short, is responsible for all the components that manipulate the flow of air around the vehicle. The three primary goals of the aero package are to generate downforce to keep the car planted through corners, cool the car by sending air to the radiators, and minimize drag to increase top speed. The cornerstones of the aero package are the rear wing, front wing, undertray, bodywork, and sidepods. To accomplish this, Aero Division members heavily utilize Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to design and simulate how air moves through and around their components. In addition to fluid dynamics, the Aero Division also works heavily with the composites division to design and manufacture lightweight carbon fiber components, utilizing CNC machining, 3D printing, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
