Learn the real-world skills needed to jumpstart your career in motorsport engineering!
Our Aerodynamics Career Accelerator Program (Aero CAP) will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of principles, theories, and applications of aerodynamics in the context of Formula 1 racing.
Learn from a former F1 Aerodynamicist and develop your problem-solving and collaboration skills as well as technical know-how: creating aerodynamic designs based on requirements, running them in CFD, doing post-processing of the CFD results, and iterating designs to improve aero performance.
Our course goes beyond the conventional, utilising CATIA 3DX and Bramble CFD to teach you skills that will help you stand out in the competitive world of motorsport aerodynamics!
- Career-focused sessions meeting over 6 weeks
- Individualised attention and feedback in a small-group setting
- CATIA 3DExperience license and Bramble CFD usage included in the price of the course
- Guest speakers and connections with industry professionals
- Live instruction from a former F1 aerodynamicist
- Assignments based on real-life tasks & challenges
- Industry-recognised certificate upon successful completion of the course
Accelerate your career - Apply for Batch 2!
What you'll learn:
- The fundamental principles of aerodynamics and their application in the context of Formula 1 racing
- Evaluation and interpretation of aerodynamic performance metrics and their impact on vehicle dynamics
- How to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software Bramble CFD to simulate and analyse aerodynamic designs
- Wind tunnel testing results analysis, data acquisition, and analysis for aerodynamic development
- How to build, analyse, and interpret aero maps
- Design, optimisation, and refinement of aerodynamic components with CATIA 3DExperience
Software used in this course:
The Aerodynamics Career Accelerator Program features the use of industry-leading CATIA 3DExperience, developed by Dassault Systèmes as well as Bramble CFD software, part of the TotalSim group.
Access to these software licenses is included in the cost of the course.
Course Instructor
David Felis
- F1 Aerodynamicist
David holds a BSc in Aeronautical Engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, then went on to study an MSc in Motorsports at Mondragón Unibersitatea, where he worked with Epsilon Euskadi Team (later EPIC Racing).
He has always been passionate about aerodynamics and took part in Formula Student during his undergraduate years.
After earning his master’s degree, David worked as an Aerodynamicist at Williams F1 from 2012 to 2018 and then he joined Haas F1 Team as a Senior Aerodynamicist where he worked until 2021.
During his F1 career, he developed many new concepts and ideas that trended on the grid.
