Today we you bring to this blog dedicated to the engine an impressive prototype conceived to compete in the IndyCar of 2012. With the aspect of a fighter for combat, the Delta Wing, it has been presented recently in the Lounge of the Motorcar of Chicago.
The sports motoring has always been characterized for a step went further away as for design, services and technology in general. The designers and engineers prove his ideas in the competition then to apply them, if this is possible, to the street models. These cars, authentic rolling laboratories, always include the last innovations in a search for making them more rapid and insurances. This has provoked impressive evolutions, and that of the Delta Wing is one of the proposals most radical and advanced for the future of the single-seater of competition.
His main lines are: a completely aerodynamic design and a weight of the very limited set. At first sight there attracts attention the absence of ailerons and the design of the front, very sharp and narrow knob. His length is much major than that of the current cars in competition and his impressive rear in the shape of hang glider is finished off by a leeway similar to that of any plane.
Constructed almost in its entirety in carbon fibre with recycled polyethene, the weight of the set does not come to 500 kilograms. If to this we join a propellent of four cylinders with a two liters cylinder capacity, the Delta Wing is capable of reaching 385 km / h.
His spectacular forms are necessary to offer the minimal possible resistance to the wind. The front is lighter and it takes in, while in the rear it is where there settles the whole aerodynamic load of the car and provides stability to the vehicle, finally she is the manager of that this prototype circulates clinging to the soil and does not go out flying.
