Case Study: Motorsport Aerodynamic Wing
The Challenge
A competitive GT racing team needed to develop a new rear aerodynamic wing. The wing had to be incredibly stiff to withstand extreme downforce at speeds over 250 km/h without flexing, which would alter its aerodynamic profile. It also needed to be exceptionally lightweight. While their engineers were experts in hand-laid thermoset composites, the process was too slow and expensive for producing the multiple iterations needed for testing and replacement.
The Solution: LFT-PP-CF50-BC05A
Our LFT-PP-CF50, utilizing Toray® carbon fiber, provided a revolutionary solution. The material's extremely high modulus allowed for the design of a thin-profile, hollow wing that was both incredibly rigid and lightweight. The consistency of the Toray® fiber ensured that every molded part performed identically. The speed of injection molding allowed the team to produce multiple design variations for wind tunnel testing in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods.
Result: A lighter wing with 15% less deflection under load compared to their previous thermoplastic prototype, and a 90% reduction in production time per part compared to thermoset layups.
