It used an intricate tubular space frame chassis, containing about 200 chro-moly steel tubes welded together, arranged triangular formation at high stress areas of the chassis, hence the nickname "Birdcage". [1] This method of construction provided a more rigid and, at the same time, lighter chassis than other racing cars of the time. [1]
Tubular space frame chassis are permitted, whereas production bodyshells are permitted as tradition. They also feature common safety cell structures, centrally designed in partnership with the FIA. They also feature common safety cell structures, centrally designed in partnership with the FIA.
The roof of this industrial building is supported by a space frame structure. If a force is applied to the blue node and the red bar were not present, the resultant effect on the structure would depend entirely on the blue node's bending rigidity, i.e. to its resistance (or lack thereof) to bending; however, with the red bar in place, then assuming negligible bending rigidity of the blue node ...
Backbone tube chassis is a type of automobile construction chassis that is similar to the body-on-frame design. Instead of a two-dimensional ladder-type structure, it consists of a strong tubular backbone (usually rectangular in cross section) that connects the front and rear suspension attachment areas. A body is then placed on this structure.
Cars are constructed on a purpose-built steel tubular space frame chassis with integral roll cage construction designed and approved to stringent engineering specifications. The lightweight composite body is a designed caricature of its full-size counterpart featuring opening doors, boot and lift off front section.
[13] [14] It was constructed out of a tubular space frame chassis, and, combined with its light weight of 551 kg (1,215 lb) this gave it a great power-to-weight ratio. [15] The 4.5 L (270 cu in) Oldsmobile V8 engine developed around 310 hp (230 kW), [ 16 ] while the 350 cu in (5.7 L) Chevrolet small-block V8 engine was capable of developing ...
Inherited from the Corvette SS were the earlier car's tubular steel space frame chassis, 92 in (2,337 mm) wheelbase and 51.5 in (1,308 mm) front and rear track, front short/long arm suspension (SLA) and rear De Dion tube located by two pairs of trailing arms with coil springs over tubular shocks front and rear and drum brakes mounted outboard ...
This was a new design, with a chassis unrelated to existing 250-series Grand Touring cars. Designed by Mauro Forghieri , the 250 P was an open cockpit mid-engined rear wheel drive design , utilizing a tubular space-frame chassis, double wishbone suspension , rack and pinion steering, four wheel disc brakes and a longitudinally-mounted V12 ...
