For 2016, the Mississippi State University’s Formula SAE team sought to produce<br />
a capable autocross vehicle with the average competitor in mind. The car is<br />
designed around someone who has moderate driving and mechanical skills and<br />
access to simple tools and equipment. The design is the work of learning underclassmen<br />
with the goal of building a robust and simple car while also providing<br />
a level of leading edge in engineering design. The team set design goals to<br />
make the vehicle drivable, manufacturable, marketable, and easily maintainable.<br />
These goals resulted in a steel space frame vehicle driven by a Honda CBR 600<br />
F4I engine adapted with mechanical paddle shifters and unequal length double<br />
wishbone suspension on 10 inch tires.<br />
USAF Academy Racing designed S1.6 with three goals in mind. Create a simple,<br />
reliable, lightweight car. With 17 fully committed team members, 2016 USAFA<br />
Racing has reached a new standard with S1.6. Intense analysis and design<br />
scrutiny went into every subsystem and component in S1.6, creating an entirely<br />
new car for the 2016 competition. Months of rigorous testing also went into the<br />
completed vehicle helping us obtain our goal of reliability. The design is wrapped<br />
up aesthetically with a USAF Thunderbirds livery.<br />
The US Air Force Academy challenges students with some of the best academic<br />
curriculum in the nation. Military training as well as athletic competition and standards<br />
comprise the four years at the institution. All students will become officers<br />
in the United States military upon graduation.<br />
