All APR Performance GTC-250 Series wings feature an innovative 2D designed airfoil shape, specifically engineered to minimize drag while maximizing downforce. This design ensures a consistent level of downforce across the entire span of the wing, providing optimal performance in various driving conditions.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis played a crucial role in validating the aerodynamic design of GT Series wings. By simulating airflow over the wing, engineers were able to fine-tune the shape for optimal performance on the track.
Each GT Series airfoil is crafted from lightweight and durable carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials. These materials are known for their superior strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for high-performance applications.
All CFRP airfoils are meticulously crafted using pre-pregnated composite manufacturing processes. This involves laying pre-impregnated woven carbon fiber sheets into high-quality aluminum billet molds, which are then cured in a high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagged for optimal strength and durability.
GT Series wings come equipped with Gurney flaps, which are small aerodynamic devices mounted to the trailing edge of the wing. These flaps help enhance the overall performance of the wing by increasing downforce and reducing drag, providing drivers with improved stability and cornering capabilities.
Next time you see a GT Series wing in action, you'll have a deeper appreciation for the engineering and design that goes into making it a true aerodynamic masterpiece.
