Jak se vyvíjela konstrukce vašich formulí?
První model FS.01 byl stavěn především s ohledem na výdrž a pro
získání zkušeností. Tomu odpovídala i jeho hmotnost 339 kg. Už
od druhé formule jsme začali intenzivně pracovat na jejím snižování.
U vozu FS.04 jsme dosáhli hmotnosti 223 kg, což u tohoto
typu konstrukce s ocelovým rámem a koly o velikosti 13“ je velmi
dobrý výsledek. Ty úplně nejlepší týmy se blíží k hranici 200 kg.
Takže zde máme prostor při konstrukci našeho nového modelu
FS.05.

How was design of your formula developed?
The first model FS.P1 was built mainly with respect to endurance
and getting experience. That corresponded with its weight of 339 kg.
Starting the second formula we began to work intensively on weight
reduction. We reached 223 kg at the car FS.04 and that was a very
good result for this type of construction with a steel frame and 13’’
wheels. The very best teams are approaching the limit of 200 kg.
So there is a space for us in the construction of our new model
FS.05.
Can you describe the newest existing model FS.04?
The base is a hybrid frame, which consists of the steel tube frame with
glued sandwich panels to increase stiffness. The panels consist of two
plates of six layers of carbon fibre with 10 mm of vynicel plastic in
between. Everything was glued into sections and made entirely at our
school. Since the first model we have been using Yamaha YZF-R6
engines. We try to produce more and more parts ourselves. The frame
was welded completely by us. Axles and control arms, which were one
of the most interesting parts, were cast from magnesium. Air intake
was completely designed by us. It includes a carbon airbox of six layers
and inside is a restrictor with 20 mm diameter. The tank from welded
aluminium was also designed by us. All our cars have a sliding pedal
unit that was again proposed by us. Likewise we propose an entire
exhaust system. Virtually everything what I am talking about is proposed
in dissertation works.
