    I LOVE the fact that you started super strong and immediately jumped ship when you ran out of precut fibers, and just started sticking random shop junk in the composite.

    Matt, that small triangular piece in front of vertical stabilizer is a leading edge root extension. At high yaw angle it creates a stron Vortex that energies the airflow impacting the main stabilizer increasing the critical angle of attack thus preventing a stall and increasing directional stability.
    The same principle is used in many modern fighter jets in front of main wings - F18s etc. When pulling hard manouvers you can observe vortices shedding and condensation on the main wing. Notice how they are still attached to the wing even at extremely high angles of attack.
    It is important to encorporate this design into your land speed car as it will help you not spin ass forwards

    Forged is stronged for complex shapes that you dont have a custom weaved mat for. The chopped fiber soup gives a random layout that helps prevent weak points caused by poor weave alignment in the mat with complex geometries. You could layer multiple standard weave mats in the correct orientation for each section of part, but that adds weight and thickness for the overlaps. You can also make custom weaves so that it aligns with the part geometry, but that adds a lot of cost and complexity.

    Aerospace engineering student here - that 'transition' piece in front of the vertical stabilizer is not for drag reduction, it is for stability in a stall-spin scenario, or rather, it prevents a stall spin from developing. Cars obviously don't have aerodynamic stalls, but it adds area to your vertical stabilizer so it will help you track straighter. And it looks cool!

Additionally, our utility/laundry room is a psuedo-tornado shelter with two layers of 3/4" OSB subflooring. Skim-coated it with a couple of thin coats of drywall mud and it looks just like sheetrock but WAY stronger. So, yay for forged wood...

    My old VP of engineering was a smart dude. We were ME/EE/FW engineers for hire and had to design things fast and reliably. He said, to be confident in your design you should have at least one of these:
    1. Experimental proof that it works (TIW)
    2. Robust simulation TIW
    3. An expert says TIW and why
    4. Someone else who actually researched it does it that same way.
    5. If it’s fucked you can easily pivot to something else that works (but is probably more expensive)

    The transition from the fuselage to the vertical tail has no aerodynamic advantage. A professor in engineering school told us it was the result of needing to increase the tail area for lateral stability after the initial design and/or test flights were performed. It was cheaper to add this structure than redesign the empennage completely. It may also allow a lower tail height to reduce roll coupling.

    • @Kalimerakis
      @Kalimerakis หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      Thats also what I remember.
      In some twin engine planes (don't remember which) they added it after switching to more powerful engines, as it needed more longitudinal stability for engine-out scenarios.
      Also it does have the aerodynamic advantage of adding stability, I don't know if it has the advantage of reducing drag.
      Probably not as a longer chords (low aspect ratio) generally are less efficient in the lift to drag ratio.
      It might be structurally more stable as there is less of a lever arm and more area attached to the fuselage.

    • @Pieliker96

    Fun fact: the main reason most GA aircraft's vertical stabilizers aren't just rectangular in planform is that marketing found that tapered and swept vertical stabilizers sold better. For manufacturers like Mooney the tail profile is simply part of the brand image, like how BMW uses kidney grilles. All that being said, the dorsal fin does help keep the vertical stabilizer from stalling at high side slip angles.

  • @nathanschaefer5148
    @nathanschaefer5148 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    The intermediate part before the rudder is a vortice generator exactly like a delta wing, it causes a large notice to generate at high angles which increases drag in the back of the aircraft and increases the stabilizing lift force by up to 80pct over just having the plain rudder alone.
    This was discovered around the time of WW2 but not understood at all until the 60s, by the 70s it was being built into the strakes of combat jets like the f-16 and f-18

    It keeps the air attaches to the rudder at high yaw angles, like a LERX.
    The high sweep virtually decreases the Angle of Attack to the incoming airflow, lowering the chances of stall.
    At very high angles, it may even generate a vortex, with similar positive effects.
    Structurally, it increases the contact area with the fuselage, securing the rudder in its place.
    As for forged carbon, it was conceived to eliminate the manual labor involved in normal carbon fiber manufacturing, lowering its cost. It's called "forged" because it supposed to be pressed on the mold by a press-forge, which would also cure it. It's a strong material, but not as strong as regular carbon fiber. But it surely looks shiny and glamorous.

  • @hexapodium
    @hexapodium หลายเดือนก่อน +36

    The long transition-y bit is a leading-edge root extension, they help keep the wing (or tail) un-stalled at higher angles of attack. On fast jets they're usually on the wing and result in being able to do more top gun type things; on slow jets on the tail, I think they help prevent and recover from spins and other 'stalled tail' situations where there's a big apparent crosswind, which is potentially a very bad day.
    On the land speed car, I *hope* the plan is to not run it with a 90mph crosswind (seems sketchy but idk) so it should be less of an aerodynamic factor and more of a coolness-enhancing one; there might be some benefits to moving the tail's centre of pressure a bit lower.
    A short literature search has turned up nothing on the merits of a ham sandwich for yaw stability, but I hope the Ig Nobel committee is paying attention.

    • @mememaster147
      @mememaster147 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, the vertical tail root extension is specifically an anti-spin feature. AFAIK if you go into a spin it acts as a vortex generator to create vortex lift on one side of the tail to resist the spin.

    Those intermediaries are, if I remember correctly, actually pretty much an extension to the vertical stabilizer.
