Example note. Replace it with a real one.
First smoke tunnel run
The v3 body went into the smoke tunnel. A lower nose cut the flow separation over the front wing almost completely.
We finally got the v3 body into the smoke tunnel this week.
What we saw
The rear pod still makes a big wake behind the canister chamber, but the new nose keeps the flow attached over the front wing.
| Run | Body | Wing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | v2 | flat | Separation at the nose |
| 02 | v3 | flat | Attached to mid-body |
| 03 | v3 | swept | Cleanest flow so far |
What changed
- Lowered the nose by 4 mm
- Tapered the sidepods
- Moved the front axle 6 mm forward
Next week
Machine the v3 block, sand and prime it, then lock the decal layout before the portfolio draft.
