Abstract
- The article reports on the use of carbon composites by Chevrolet engineers to make an innovative hood for its Corvette ZR1 automobile. Design specifications include the need for accommodation of greater engine dimensions and the elimination of a mid-hood bulge for the supercharger. A design challenge that engineers faced is the reduction of the air gap between the engine top and the hood.
