The national recumbent event "Cycle Vision" is this weekend with lots of races. This evening David and H@rry decided to have another look how they could improve the aerodynamics of our Mangos' in an inconspicious way. We haven't got a windtunnel, but we got these next best things: a compressor and a string of carbon fiber..... Air likes to follow rounded edges which can cause drag. We found that sharp edges at critical points may reduce air drag. So we created a few sharp edges. Thumbs up for colleague Roelf, who had the brilliant idea to use the air compressor.
