[quote][i]Originally posted by AK[/i] [quote]How do they work? Sprint Car wings act like upside down aircraft wings, creating downforce instead of lift. A wing generates downforce due to the air pressure differential between the top and bottom surfaces of the wing. Due to the shape and angle of attack of the wing the air below the wing travels faster than that above, meaning that its air pressure will be lower. The speed of the air above the wing is either not changed or slowed by the shape of the wing, meaning the pressure of the air above the wing is higher than the air flowing under the wing. The downforce is created as the high pressure area on top of the wing is drawn to the low pressure area under the wing forcing the wing down. As the speed of the wing moving through the air is increased, so is the downforce. [/quote] [/quote]
