Dragster wings

this is what I do.

Nice job! What kind of vehicle do they go on? What kind of speeds will they reach and how much down force do they create?

Its probably your trade secret, but I’ll ask anyway. What is your lay-up schedule for the wing ends and the airfoil?

Cool stuff. Please post pictures of the tooling and assembly methods.

The small one is for super comp, they go about 170 the down force is relatively small , they don’t need not much and many run with no wing at all.
The big one is for A-fuel, they go about 270 and the down force is quite big in the order of several thousand lbs

The side plates are 3 plies carbon each skin and 1/8 foam core on the small wing ¼ foam core on the big one. The airfoils are the same as commonly used by everyone else I don’t have the specific names.

There are more pix of tooling and assembly on my website

How do you glue together top and bottom part of the wing?

post a link to the pictures of assembly

Which is??? Link please. :slight_smile:

Learn something new everyday…especially on this site. :smiley: Thanks Marc.

People ask how strong the rear wing should be, well I say it should pass this kind of load test

Bravo! Great job man.

One can argue that any wing can withstand 105 lbs of pressure :stuck_out_tongue:

The heaviest part is right above the support.

I need some weights like that :smiley:

It would be reccomended to test the wing up to rupture…therefore more “weight samples” are required…:slight_smile:

There you go…
