For advanced set-up of down-force adjustment at the rear wing of a Grand Prix car, beside many other detail constructions in a huge aerodynamic construction package, in 1991 Lecon Engineering developed an aerodynamic chassis construction comprising exactly measured slots leading the cooling airstream to the upside of the chassis. In short distance to these slots the exhaust pipes are lead out upwardly too.

The patented system named Airtronic^™ is part of the construction and design package for the Leconte Motorsport programme preparing entry into Formula racing with own racing cars on basis of revolutionary new Airtronic^™ aerodynamic chassis constructions.

One small part of this high-tech construction package which in its whole embraces more than 50 single constructions and 3 patents, with regard to its rear upside chassis-aerodynamics incorporates exactly measured slots leading the cooling airstream to the upside of the chassis. In short distance to these slots the exhaust pipes are lead out upwardly too, resulting in a suction-effect with regard to the cooling airstream through the car´s side-boxes and accelerating the overall speed of this airstream relatively to the surrounding driving air stream.

If by way of exactly adaptable flaps for controlling the direction and quanity of the out streaming cooling air, this airstream is led at wish beneath or directly onto or upon the exhaust gas stream, the pressure intensity of the additional streaming onto the rear wing gets further defined depending on the prefered aerodynamic set-up. As a proper result of this construction, the airstream at the rear wing gets much more calculable than in the past.

In approproate coordination with rear wing design and adjustment, air resistance at the rear-wing decreases proportionally to the overall driving speed. The combined stream of cooling air and exhaust gas gets flatter the more the car is accelerated, producing less pressure onto the rear-wing during high speed straight drive and more pressure when driving through corners in lower speed.

However, Airtronic^™ aerodynamic chassis constructions go much beyond that one effectful construction mentioned above. The formula racing car prepared by Leconte Motorsport will incorporate the whole aerodynamic package developed by Lecon Engineering and will set a new highlight in Lecon Group´s profound Heritage in advanced automotive and sportscar construction and development.
