Countach - Vol. 6 Ch. 48 - Downforce Strategy!

Today I learnt that a wing and a spoiler are not interchangeable terms.

An automotive airfoil (wing) is shaped like an upside-down airplane wing — it deflects airflow upward to generate down-force on the rear of the vehicle.

A spoiler is an obstruction to localized airflow that improves the overall airflow around a vehicle. Basically, you’re adding a barrier to a region of undesirable air behavior so the air will flow somewhere else.

There's your automotive fact of the day? Source.

At least it's adjustable and has purpose. I hate big spoilers on anything that isn't meant for the track

Now I understand why Sora can floored a bit more than usual in chapter 39.

Page 8 mislabels rivets as screws. They are not screws. They are an alternative fastening method.

A rivet is a cylindrical metal tube that deforms into a crimp as a mandrel is pulled through it.

Not trying to be a smartass, but I just thought to note the original rivet doesn't have a mandrel, being just a solid piece of metal. It's hammered in the locked form from the other side. Mandrels came with pop rivets, so that you don't need access to the other side. Both are still used today, depending on the work to be done, even if welding has very often replaced rivets of all types. But yes, I assume pop rivets were used in this case, so you are absolutely correct and I'm not trying to deny that.
