The Delta Wing - Safety by Design

  Part 6 of 7
This is a short installment in our series on the Delta Wing, to simply address something that we also had concerns about when we first saw the design.

The Delta Wing - NOT Rear-Steering

  Article 5 of 7
In our coverage of the Delta Wing, we have received some email that seems to be under the impression that the car is rear-steer.  This was fairly easy to mistake, as it has been mentioned several times that the design of this car incorporates what is known as an "active" differential (rear end).

  Part 3 of 7
Part 3 of 7 in our Delta Wing series addresses the weight distribution, which defies typical race car design convention.  This one will be short but sweet, but we wanted to give it a dedicated article because it is so key in tying the other characteristics of the car together.
