This invention discloses a variable cross-section
tail wing suitable for FSAE racing cars, comprising a variable cross-section wing
assembly, an upper sparsity wing, a first lower sparsity wing, a second lower sparsity wing, and endplates. The variable cross-section wing
assembly consists of a main wing, a first flap, and a second flap; all three wings are variable cross-section wings. The variable cross-section wing is a small, continuous section raised at mid-span. The main wing, the first flap, and the second flap are sequentially mounted between the two endplates, roughly diagonally distributed, with the second flap featuring a grunt flap. The upper sparsity wing is mounted on the corner of the endplate, while the first and second lower sparsity wings are located near the bottom of the endplate. There are two endplates, symmetrically mounted on both sides, each featuring louvers, an outer edge
flange, a
leading edge notch, a
trailing edge notch, and guide strips. The variable cross-section wing can reduce the turbulence caused by the headrest and minimize
airflow slippage in the spanwise direction, resulting in a more uniform pressure distribution on the wing surface. The
louver structure also reduces drag.
