Article C3.10.3
Front Wing Outboard Footplate
Chapter: C3
In Simple Terms
The front wing's outer footplate (the part that extends outward) must fit within a specific 3D boundary. In the lower section of the wing, it can have up to two separate pieces at any height, and in the rear section, it can have up to two separate pieces at any depth.
- The outboard footplate must stay completely within the allowed envelope (RV-FWEP-OFP)
- Below Z = 160mm height, the footplate can have maximum two sections at any horizontal slice
- Behind XF = -425mm position, the footplate can have maximum two sections at any depth slice
- These restrictions prevent teams from creating complex multi-piece designs that could unfairly improve aerodynamics
