2024-07-22 | Design for paraski; design a new, detachable shell component for the back of the seat that significantly improves the aerodynamics of the current sit-skis, TU Delft

The Dutch sit-skiers are among the world’s elite, reaching speeds of up to 120 km/h during downhill and super-G races. The greatest opposing force they encounter is air resistance. To enhance their chances of winning Paralympic gold, we aim to reduce this air resistance. The current sit-ski shells are not optimally streamlined, particularly the rear section, which causes significant drag.
