>>1898981>the truss also generates some lift,it doesn't fuckin' matter, you can generate lift from a cylinder too, but you also generate more drag.
nobody cares what they do in f1, they have rules about the max. width and the flow is turbulent, and there are parts on the car that channel the flow, rather than just generate downforce. Also, they have radiators and brake ducts. And ground effect. And the flow is turbulent.
>>1898972Yes, a lot of this bullshit is usually because of a need to stuff many of them onto ships, or at gates, or to make it easier to build, or other logistics constraints. But it looks cool and makes good pop-sci articles.
