WingLogic MSHD CFD Analysis
This analysis shows the aerodynamic performance of a 70″ WL MSHD wing across various angles of attack (0°, 5°, 10°) and speeds (60, 100, 140 MPH).The analysis focuses on the fundamental forces of Lift (downforce) and Drag, and the resulting power required in Horsepower.
Downforce (Lift) Comparison in Pounds (lbs)
This data shows the downforce generated by each airfoil, which is the critical force for cornering traction.
| Condition (MPH / AOA) | MSHD Airfoil (lbs) | |
|---|---|---|
| 60 / 0° | 68.31 lbs | |
| 100 / 0° | 192.31 lbs | |
| 140 / 0° | 392.53 lbs | |
| 60 / 5° | 94.56 lbs | |
| 100 / 5° | 285.73 lbs | |
| 140 / 5° | 578.77 lbs | |
| 60 / 10° | 156.04 lbs | |
| 100 / 10° | 451.89 lbs | |
| 140 / 10° | 933.33 lbs |
Detailed Data of Forces and Power
Aerodynamic Performance Data: MSHD Airfoil
Drag Force (D) is the resistance opposing the car’s motion, and the Power Required to overcome it is a direct function of drag and speed.
Lift Force (L) acts as downforce in racing, pressing the car onto the track for improved traction and cornering grip.
