Front Wing Endplate Diveplane

Chapter: C3

In Simple Terms

The front wing endplate diveplane (the small winglet below the main wing) must fit within a specific box-shaped space defined by F1 regulations. The curved surfaces on this part must have smooth, gradual curves - with a minimum radius of 5mm for outward curves and 50mm for inward curves - to ensure safe aerodynamics.

  • The diveplane must stay within a defined 3D boundary box measuring 300mm × 325mm × 50mm
  • All curved surfaces must have a minimum radius of 5mm for convex (outward) curves
  • All curved surfaces must have a minimum radius of 50mm for concave (inward) curves
  • These restrictions ensure aerodynamic safety and prevent dangerous airflow patterns
Official FIA Text

Front Wing Endplate Diveplane Bodywork must lie in its entirety within an axis aligned cuboid [X, Y, Z] = [300, 325, 50] and RV-FWEP-DIVEPLANE. Aerodynamic Surfaces must contain no convex radius of curvature less than 5mm and no concave radius less than 50mm.
