The
splitter, looking at the underside. Very flat with a spanular 'kick'
that feeds into the side pods. The 2KQ made its top side downforce
by slowing the air down with its blunt body work and giving that slow air
a surface to act upon. |
At
the time it was reported that the 2KQ's splitter suffered from flexion
at maximum downforce. This was remedied by attaching stays from the
outboard splitter to the center chassis section. |
Hours
of Computational Fluid Dynamics have come to the same, or near same, solution
that NPTi had with their early 90s Nissan GTP turbo inlets.
By eliminating the airbox and utilizing these scoops for engine induction,
the 2KQ reduced frontal area and improved airflow to the rear wing. |
