Project Overview
This project consists of designing and manufacturing innovative structural composite components for the RIT Formula SAE racecar. Primary focus will be placed on a carbon fiber monocoque and a carbon fiber aerodynamics package. The main goals of the monocoque include ease of manufacturing, increased stiffness, and decreased mass. The aero package is expected to provide downforce while keeping weight gains to a minimum.
