Article C3.10.6
Front Wing Endplate
Chapter: C3
In Simple Terms
The front wing endplate is the vertical piece at the edge of the front wing that helps control airflow. It must be made from a single solid piece with no gaps or overlaps, and if you can see it from the side, it needs to be at least 10mm thick to ensure it's strong enough.
- The endplate is composed of multiple trim and combination components (body, footplates, and optional diveplane)
- Must form a single connected volume with no overlapping regions to prevent illegal aerodynamic advantages
- Minimum 10mm thickness requirement when visible from the side ensures structural integrity
- Strict geometry rules prevent teams from creating illegal aerodynamic devices disguised as endplates
