KTM's aero fairing design unveiled at the end of season tests last year is the fairing of choice for the orange factory in 2020. It has a rather unique characteristic to it, with two areas of the fairing featuring a serrated edge hence the name 'shark teeth' 🦈 So what do these shark teeth do? Well, it's quite simple really. The edge on a fairing creates vortices as the air moves over and into the space behind it. These vortices can be powerful, causing buffeting on the rider as the air becomes turbulent due to the vortex. The idea behind the shark teeth is to break up these vortices created by the edge of the faring and reduce how powerful they are. The teeth do this by stopping one large vortex being created and instead cause multiple small ones to be created 💪 Manipulating the air and also smoothing the air onto the rider may energise the boundary layer (a low energy layer of air that sits on a surface) around the rider, helping airflow to stick closer to the rider making them more aerodynamically efficient, which in turn reduces drag! 💨 So KTM's little 'shark teeth' are far more than a scare tactic! They stop the rider being buffeted so much and can reduce turbulence and drag! 🙌 If you like these posts, make sure you check out our 'MotoGP Facebook' group!」6月23日 16時00分
