 The
Allard's bubble canopy. The related Spice AK93 would borrow
the
concept (minimum cross section cockpit), if not the exact same
canopy. |
 One
of the
concepts behind the pontoon fenders was to reduce the amount of
"collateral" accident damage. The separate fenders allowed
for
only the removal of the damaged corner (and not the entire nose) in the
case of an accident. |
 The
bodywork, aft of the cockpit, is melted over the rear end of the car in
order to lower it as much as possible to maximize airflow to
the rear wing. The engine intakes are minimalist at best. |
 Note
the various NACA ducts in the flank of monocoque. These feed
general cooling air into the engine bay area. Given the tight
proximity of the bodywork these were most certainly appreciated.
We can also see the start of the underfloor tunnels ("wedge"
shape) and note how far forward they are. |
