Description
We need a custom aerodynamic cover designed for the F1TENTH car. The cover should optimize airflow around the vehicle to reduce drag while accounting for the integration of key components, including:
- **LiDAR sensor** (mounted on the front/top)
- **Rear spoiler** (must be preserved or enhanced for downforce)
The design must balance form and function, ensuring no compromise to sensor visibility or accessibility, while aiming to enhance the car's aerodynamic performance.
---
### Outcomes:
- 3D Model of the aerodynamic cover (STEP, STL, or SolidWorks format)
- Integration layout with LiDAR and rear spoiler
- Simulation results showing:
- Drag coefficient
- Air resistance at different speeds
- Airflow visualization (e.g., streamline plot)
- Mounting mechanism for secure attachment to F1TENTH chassis
---
### ✅ Acceptance Criteria:
- The cover must securely fit the standard F1TENTH chassis.
- LiDAR field of view must remain unobstructed.
- Rear spoiler must be preserved or improved.
- CFD simulation must demonstrate reduced drag vs. uncovered car.
- Simulation report with methodology and results must be included.
