Notes

Mercedes has sent me to design and construct a sustainable F1 car that produces great aerodynamic action that helps the car move swiftly and smoothly, in order for me to do so, I need to answer questions like = how does the size and scale of an F1 car affect its performance? How does 3D modeling helps create a successful F1 car? and also, What makes F1 cars look aesthetically appealing?

Aerodynamics is the science of how air flows through objects. The laws of aerodynamics describe how an airplane should fly. Aerodynamics affects everything that passes through the air. Aerodynamics influence a rocket blasting off the launch pad and a kite flying across the sky. Aerodynamics also affects automobiles, as air flows around them. The most important aspect of a Formula 1 car configuration is undoubtedly aerodynamics. The bulk of the budget is for maximizing the airflow around the car to achieve optimum drag downforce. Teams must, nevertheless, set up their cars to get air into the engine, gear, and brakes in order to keep them cool. F1 cars currently have a large number of components that result in aerodynamic advantages, but two key factors. Here you can see the front and rear wings. These two components are frequently planned and designed to be modified easily from one race to the next. ''An aircraft manufacturer does not sell weight -- they sell performance. The performance is a combination of the weight, fuel consumption and aerodynamics.'' - Noel Forgeard, CEO of EADS.

Onshape is a modern platform for SaaS design that accelerates product development. The system combines CAD, release management, workflow, collaboration, analysis, admin tools, and an API with more than 50 engineering applications. It is a one-stop system. Onshape supports students and others with real-time assessment and unprecedented visibility of their product's design and production processes to make better business decisions. Onshape Free extends to non-professional designers fully capable of modern CAD tools. At no cost can hobbyists, manufacturers, and others who are prepared to share their projects freely without the problems common in older CAD systems. It is excellent for making and designing an aerodynamic, viable F1 car. As it is easy to access its tools, mods and takes the size of the file perfectly. It is great for e-creating a vehicle.


The directed floor measurements permit a greater, more broadened floor that produces more ground impacts downforce. The motor arrangement is determinedly forward, broadening the focal point of gravity forward and pushing the driver forward and the front hub. The effect of these measures and the long transaxle behind the motor is to push the back tires back.
