![]() HT05 was HyTech's first vehicle to implement an aerodynamic package, which consisted of carbon fiber composite front and rear wings. Our weight only increased 20 lb (9 kg) compared to our 2019 vehicle, while also adding our first ever aero package. We continued to apply our three design principles during our design of HT05: lightness, serviceability, and robustness. HT05 Took Second Place at the 2021 Competition Engineering Summaryįor the 2021 competition year, our team continued our iterative design approach building on the work that was unfortunately interrupted in 2020. The team also received 2nd in cost, 3rd in acceleration, 3rd in skidpad, and 4th in design. HT06 placed 3rd overall out of 55 teams in the 2022 FSAE Michigan Electric competition. An adjustable anti-roll bar, configurable aero elements, and software control of powertrain parameters allowed for quick on-track adjustment of vehicle balance and handling. ![]() ![]() Tuning HT06 took place during hundreds of hours of on-track testing to validate structural components, dial-in suspension setup, test launch control software, and validate onboard cooling systems. A complete ergonomic study and experimentally driven design iteration gave our drivers a comfortable seating and steering position while seating the driver in the lowest possible position to even further improve acceleration performance. Advanced composite structural simulation techniques led to the development of a lighter, stiffer, and stronger aero package. A novel battery pack cooling design strategy enabled HyTech's most energy-dense and tightly packaged accumulator ever. HT06 features many design improvements over its predecessors. ![]() This was accomplished through an iterative design process focusing on high-level performance metrics and designing to the limit of each critical requirement. In 2022, HyTech Racing focused efforts on building an extremely lightweight and reliable vehicle with a low center of gravity and high lateral acceleration at all parts of the circuit. HT06 Took Third Place Overall at the 2022 Competition Engineering Summary ![]()
