Iterating the Aerodynamic Design of a 1950s Inspired Custom Sportscar

Solving the Aerodynamic Yaw Issues with Project 171, and keeping it looking like a 1950's sportscar is a bit of a challenge. One that will take many iterations to solve. In this video, we make a number of iterations to the bodywork, mainly around the rear of the vehicle to try and solve the problems of rear lift and yaw instability. We dial down the mesh resolution and use Airshaper to make a number of fast iterations to better understand the problem.
