Spoiler belakang Aprilia RS-GP di tes MotoGP Sepang

GridOto.com – Aprilia lagi-lagi menjadi pusat perhatian pada tes MotoGP Sepang yang berlangsung pekan ini.

Setelah pada shakedown test membawa beberapa upgrade aerodinamika, kini ada sayap aneh yang dipasang di bagian belakang motor Aprilia RS-GP pada hari pertama tes MotoGP Sepang, Selasa (6/2).

aprilia bawa sayap model jaring di tes motogp sepang, apa fungsinya?

Aerorake ala F1 dipakai Aprilia untuk mengetes aerodinamika motornya

Dimensi sayap yang terpasang di buritan atas Aprilia RS-GP tersebut benar-benar cukup besar, terlihat berbentuk seperti antena TV.

Saking besarnya, bagian ujung kiri dan kanannya harus ditopang dengan sebuah penyangga agar posisinya kokoh.

Seperti ditunjukkan gambar berikut:

Namun jangan salah, sebenarnya ini bukan sayap belakang model baru yang sedang mereka kembangkan untuk MotoGP 2024.

Komponen berbentuk seperti antena tersebut sebenarnya adalah aerorake, yang sangat penting fungsinya dalam pengembangan aerodinamika.

Alat tersebut sudah lama dipakai di ajang balap Formula 1, dipasang saat mobil-mobil dites perangkat aerodinamikanya.

Aerorake ini adalah jaring-jaring yang berfungsi untuk memantau pergerakan angin di sekitar area penempatannya.

Jaring-jaring itu sebenarnya terpasang dengan sensor-sensor ‘kiel probe’ yang fungsinya untuk memetakan aliran angin di sekitar aerorake.

Nantinya hasil data digital yang dikumpulkan aerorake ini, akan dipelajari khusus oleh ahli aerodinamika tim.

Data tersebut diolah dengan perangkat lunak khusus yang nantinya akan dibandingkan dengan data lain, misalnya data dari pengetesan di terowongan angin ataupun simulator.

Dengan masukan ini, nantinya tim bisa membuatkan aero fairing yang cocok sesuai kebutuhan.

Jadi itu fungsi sayap model jaring yang terpasang di motor MotoGP Aprilia.
