Mock-up used in the wind tunnels during 2002-2003 for aerodynamics studies

Gustave Eiffel built and perfected his own wind tunnel laying the groundwork for what are today these facilities dedicated to aerodynamic study.

It is with the help of all of these tools, combined with LOOK’s aerodynamic testing experience and accumulated carbon know-how, that the 796 Monoblade came to life.

Created in the 1930s, this type of vehicle was almost always a one-off job, built to perform aerodynamic and stylistic studies or, subsequently, for commercial promotion purposes.

Placed at the centre of the gallery is the Handley Page ‘Gugnunc’ aeroplane, which was built in 1929 and represents a pivotal shift in aerodynamic research and public opinion about the safety of aviation.

This allows it to give business aircraft the benefit of the advanced technologies used on combat aircraft (design analysis, aerodynamic designs, flight control systems, composite materials, head-up display, etc.).

In the next phases, we will model the bike’s bodywork to computer test the aerodynamics then move to the mechanical design of the chassis and motorcycle as a whole.

Before starting his own studio and drawing the advanced shape of the ATS, he spent several years at Bertone where he established a reputation for his aerodynamic studies, mostly on Alfa Romeos.

Aerodynamic studies (site study, calculation of critical loads and the noise generated, etc.)

The first crash tests, aerodynamics analyses or chassis tests are also conducted in the virtual world using electronic simulations, long before the first prototype is built.
