Aeroscreen - Performance upgrade?

[lancelot]

Hi,

 

I'm currently have a wanted ad posted for an aeroscreen because I hear this will help performance (1137cc Blackbird), is this the case? Is it a weight thing or a wind resistance thing?

 

Or does it just FEEL faster with the wind in the face?

 

Cheers

Mostly the reduction in Drag - about 50kg at 100mph (497N / 9.81)

Definately feels faster. Probably is faster but funny thing is it definatley makes me driver slower most of the time.

 

With a full screen I just go mad a lot of the time, with an aero I feel much more involved with the whole experience as if watching a widesreen full surround sound movie at the odeon compared to on the 26inch telly.

 

It might be I feel more vulnerable to head to stationary object interface but more likely i probably simply don't need to go as fast to get a buzz so i dont.

 

Definately a good upgrade for a sunny day and looks better if I may say so. I particular like the rif one as the kink flicks the bugs above my head.(mostly)

 

If mine hadn't come with one I might have tried one of those small perspex race screens but I dont know if they work or not.

Yep, feels faster, but also mine is with Brooklands, about 5 mph faster. Just need more BHP now....
