The sensational Aero Show which occurs every year in Bangalore brought something new and different this year. When the Sukhoi, F16, MiG-35, Tejas, and other fighter aircrafts glittered the sky, the ground was stage for a maroon Formula one car. The presence of the car at the aero show was undoubtedly peculiar but the site of the car truly added more excitement to the event.
Inexplicably, it was not the Ferrari or the Toyota F1 cars but the Formula car PM408 built by the Team HAYA from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of People’s Education Society Institute of Technology (PESIT), Bangalore.
Amazingly, for the first time any racing car was showcased at an air show. During the first four day, the car was displayed in one of the exhibition hall and performed only on the last day of the event.
The custom-designed all-aluminium body is crafted to give a smooth and speedy drive along with adjustable pedal assembly and a custom-made shaft drive for maximum power transmission.
It also carries custom-made automatic button shift for fast and efficient transmission and reaches 200 km/h with an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds.The Team HAYA is set to participate in the upcoming FSAE ITALY 2009 with the car and has taken useful tips from the spectators like Rata Tata as how to improve its performance. Thus the participation of this car in the aero show has benefitted both the event as well as the Team.
I too visited the Aero show but was unaware of the racing car displayed there.I came to know about it only through this blog.Any ways it is a unique start. May be we can get to see more of such combined displays of entirely two different segments.
