Wing

This is also why a chassis-specific 3d wing can be superior to a 2d airfoil, provided it is mounted in the proper position. The higher you go, the less the twist matters.

Well it depends on their design as you said 2d is different than 3d. For both cases I mean the lowest aoa possible at which it is producing the lowest downforce numbers. As most gt wings (+1600mm) are producing more than enough downforce at 0 aoa.

It would be nice to have a mid size low drag wing that start producing downforce at 0 aoa where it can be balanced out easily with front aero. Also if its legal for most classes that would be a win win for us.
