3 element rear wing at 50 kph (on starccm+)
Im trying to make a rear wing for our FS team and finding airfoils to stack together to form presumably arounf 300N of downforce (or even more is thats possible) at 50 kph. I've run around 17 iterations with gurney flaps as well and the max generated was 220N but with a whopping 80N of drag. I mostly used S1223 for the main wing, E423 for the first flap and S1210 or E420 for the 2nd flap, even trying a wortmann for the 2nd flap, ALL at varying gaps, overlaps and AoAs based on the previous sims results. Anyone got some advice on how I can craft a rear wing that can give me the required downforce but also not cause too much drag?
