Downforce Calculator

Design a rear wing for a model car and calculate downforce and drag.

What it can do

  • Design a rear wing shape and angle
  • Calculate downforce generated at speed
  • Calculate the drag penalty
  • Compare wing designs before building

This tool lets students design a rear wing for a model car and calculate the downforce it generates at speed, along with the drag penalty that comes with it — so they can weigh up the trade-off before committing to a design.
