R-Scoop Inlet Aperture

In Simple Terms

The rear wing scoop has a small opening (maximum 10,000mm²) where air can enter. All the air that comes in through this opening must exit through the rear scoop outlet, with only tiny amounts of accidental leakage allowed. This ensures proper aerodynamic flow and prevents teams from gaining unfair advantages.

• The R-Scoop inlet aperture is limited to a maximum area of 10,000mm²
• Air can only flow into the rear scoop through this inlet (one-way flow)
• All air entering must exit through the designated rear scoop outlet with minimal incidental leakage tolerated
• The scoop inlet must be positioned within specific reference volumes (RV values of 50, 100, and 175)
