| Abstract | The purpose of my project is to find out the most effective way of producing downforce for a modern Formula 1 car. The rear wing produces the most downforce in a Formula 1 car, so to determine the most effective type, I designed and built a subsonic wind tunnel to measure the downforce produced by different models of rear wings at various angles of attack. |
