see anything wrong?

Dive planes are attached to an object moving through a liquid (like those on a submarine), and are constantly adjustable to allow for increasing or decreasing depth changes. Canards or aerofoil/airfoil would be the appropriate term for the ones on a car.

But what do I know? :stuck_out_tongue:

No worries. Just clearing the air. :smiley:

its hard to tell because of the angle of the pic, but if you draw an imaginary line from where they start, parallel to the body it looks like it is on a downward angle.

upsidedown canards = useless, especially since its causing more damage than helping

:lol: oh well

i have 2 books on advanced racing aerodynamics…and they both call them ā€œdive planesā€ not canards

Well I can’t argue with a good book. I stand corrected. :oops:
Can you post up a small paragraph on how it is they actually work and what the direct application is? I’m curious because you see them all the time now on touring cars.

So Andy, what was wrong with the pic? Was it the useless diveplanes that
had no angle?

yeah i found it really wierd that he would have the diveplanes on wrong,m which leads me to believe that he bought them purely for style :roll: :slight_smile:
