McLaren's vision for F1 2050

McLaren Applied Technologies has today unveiled Future Grand Prix, an audacious and exciting

vision of how motorsport could operate in 2050 when technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, autono-

my, electrification and mixed reality become commonplace in society.

Future Grand Prix explores

four key areas:

The racing car of 2050:

the MCLExtreme

Developments in driver

human performance

The racing tracks of the

future

The fan experience we can expect to see in 2050

There have already been exciting concepts of how a Formula 1 car could look and oper-

ate in the future, such as McLaren's own MP4-X, but nobody has ever set out their vision for

just how grand prix racing will exist far into the future, exploring the future of the cars, driv-

ers, tracks and fan engagement.

McLaren Applied Technologies conducted extensive research to extract insight, which

included speaking to fans and studying fan surveys, as well as analysing technological, econom-

ic, environmental, political, and societal trends.

Krishna Moorthy J ( 4rd Year )

Page 7 Volume 5, Issue 3, JANUARY 2019

The concept was developed by looking in detail at the direction of international policy on vehicle

electrification and emissions targets, the development in human and automotive technology, the

potential emergence of rapidly growing economies, and the need to attract a more diverse and

engaged fan base.

Alongside its own analysis, McLaren Applied Technologies undertook a series of workshops

with MA and PhD students from top universities to delve deeper into the research, and to envis-

age how motorsport might respond to future scenarios, and synthesised a huge range of possibil-

ities down to a single set of concepts that existed across a fan's experience.

After extensive insight and analysis McLaren Applied Technologies has developed:

A race car (MCLExtreme) founded upon technical insight, and features a 500 km/h rear -wheel-

drive electric powertrain, high density foldable battery moulded to the aerodynamic package,

shape-shifting active aerodynamics, on-board AI co-pilot and self-healing tyres.

The race circuit of the future. Longer and wider with huge sidewinding banks, E -pitlanes for

charging, transparent roof facilities for fans to get as close to the action, tracks that are adapt-

able to extreme weather and black-out zones with no communication or AI assistance for the

driver.

ers and service providers.”

Efficient Fuel Consumption: Honda V-Twin engines with EFI boast excellent fuel efficiency

due, in part, to an electronic control system (ECS, see discussion below) that continually monitors and

adjusts the engine’s air/fuel ratio according to variable operating conditions and engine load require-

ments, maintaining optimal combustion conditions. Adaptability and Enhanced Reliability: In addition to op-

timizing air/fuel ratios, the Honda V-Twin EFI-equipped engines offer improved ignition timing over the

complete range of operating speeds and compensate for other factors to continually maintain optimal

performance. Communication and Easy DiagnosticsAs a result of Honda’s adoption of the Society of Auto-

motive Engineers (SAE) standard J1939 vehicle bus, the recommended practice used for communication

and diagnostics among vehicle components, the new Honda V-Twin models offer a standardized method

for communication across ECUs.

Hypersonic Weapon Development

The United States is racing to develop hypersonic missiles that can travel at five times the speed

of sound, officials have confirmed.

Heather Wilson, secretary of the US Air Force, said the effort was being made to keep pace with

other nations like Russia and China while speaking on Friday at the Centre for Strategic and International

Studies, a Washington think tank.

The US Air Force currently operates 80 satellites in space, the secretary added. Her comments

followed reports suggesting Russia was also developing new missile systems after Washington announced

plans to exit from a landmark nuclear arms control pact.

Dhinesh P ( 3rd Year)

Page 11 Volume 5, Issue 3, JANUARY 2019

Vladimir Putin said over the weekend that Russia has suspended the Cold War-era Intermediate-

range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) which banned both countries from stationing short and intermediate-

range land-based missiles in Europe. Meanwhile, Moscow and Washington have accused each other of

violating the treaty and Mr Putin said Russia had acted after the United States announced it was with-

drawing from the pact.

Washington had made clear it planned to start research, development and design work on new

missile systems and Moscow would do the same, Mr Putin said. He added the Russian military should

start work on creating land-based launch systems for an existing ship-launched cruise missile, the

Kalibr, and for longer-range hypersonic missiles.

Injection molder MGS expands new capabilities

Injection molder MGS expands new product development and rapid tooling capabilities: MGS

(Germantown, WI), a global provider of custom molding and multi-shot equipment technologies and tooling

and automation products, has expanded its new product development (NPD) and rapid tooling capabilities.

The company’s goal is to help customers improve design for manufacturability (DFM) by resolving poten-

tial inefficiencies or challenges before a production tool is built.

NPD capabilities enable the MGS team to get involved early in a customer’s product design pro-

cess. By consulting with MGS in material selection, design and prototype development, customers can

avoid delays that arise from issues in both tooling devel-

opment and molding. From design to bridge or prototype

tooling to production tooling, customers that partner with

MGS will be able to pre-engineer parts more efficiently to

save time and resources throughout the entire manufac-

turing process, said the company.

“By leveraging capabilities and experience from our team early in the product development pro-

cess, we can deliver the best tool designs and recommendations for our customers right from the start,”

said Paul Manley, MGS President. “Doing so helps our customers shorten the NPD process up front to cre-

ate pre-production tooling that quickly transitions to production-ready tools.”

In addition to design and material selection, MGS leverages its additive manufacturing capabilities

to develop early prototype tooling and 3D-printed parts. Once both the customer and the MGS team are

satisfied with the prototype parts, the MGS team builds the proper bridge tool to support an interim peri-

od of production or the required high-quality production tooling.

Harivignesh N ( 3rd Year)

Page 13 Volume 5, Issue 3, JANUARY 2019

Additionally, MGS also announced the expansion of its integrated solutions services, which combines

innovation and expertise across all three areas of its business to drive greater return for customers. As a

proven single source of manufacturing expertise for customers in the healthcare, automotive, consumer

and electronics markets, MGS has successfully delivered complex manufacturing solutions while streamlin-

ing the supply chain. By controlling more of the supply chain in-house, MGS can minimize risk, maximize re-

sources and drive better customer performance and growth, said the company.

These integrated solutions are augmented by other capabilities that, when brought together, help

customers more successfully launch new programs, transfer challenging programs to us and create inte-

grated turnkey solutions that drive customer success in extremely competitive markets. “MGS’ expanded

integrated solutions offer is driven by an entrepreneurial spirit that has been the hallmark of the company

since its inception,” Manley said. “At MGS, we don’t just know your world—we live in it. Supporting each area

of business in-house gives us the first-hand knowledge to not only exceed customer expectations, but to

elevate industry standards. That’s the entrepreneurial spirit that has driven MGS since day one, and contin-

ues to drive us today.”

Global Development of the Mechanical Engineering

Europe, China, the USA and Japan are core markets for the mechanical engineering sector. MM

International provides an in-depth insight into these dynamic markets in the midst of global policies such

as Trump’s trade policy and the Brexit deal.

“Casting the world, forging the campus,

shaping the universe, welding the rest of all

branches, because we are the men, we are

the machine, and we are Mechanical Engi-

neers.” This popular quote says it all! Me-

chanical engineering is highly regarded as the ‘Mother of engineering’ and is also one of the dominant in-

dustries throughout the globe. Known for its high volume production, the industry also makes significant

contribution to a country’s economy.

Europe : The European Union is the world’s largest exporter of machinery. Statistics revealed by the

European Commission state that mechanical engineering is responsible for 9.5 % of all the production in

EU manufacturing industries and that it is one of the largest industrial sectors in the EU economy in

terms of number of enterprises, employment, production and the generation of added value. Germany is

one of the big players in the region that contribute to the global machinery industry. In terms of the cur-

rent market scenario, the federal authority of Germany, the

Federal Statistical Office has reported that in the first nine

months of 2018, machine deliveries increased by a nominal

5.2 % or 6.5 billion euros to 131.9 billion euros compared to

the previous year.

USA :

In 2017, the U.S. market for mechanical engineering

was sized at around 401.6 billion dollars, claims a

report by market analyst, Statista. Being one of the

leading players in the mechanical engineering

space, the country is committed to focusing on

technological innovations i.e. developing advanced manufacturing or automation equipment to stay ahead

of other global players in the field. VDMA further states that the USA remains the largest export market

for German machinery. Exports to the United States increased by 11.6 % to nearly 18 billion euros last

year. However, in line with recent events such as Trump’s trade policy, the mechanical engineering indus-

try may also witness a setback in the coming months.

Japan :

Japan is known for its superior quality and the Japanese Government is also promoting the concept of

‘Connected Industry’ for transforming the country’s landscape from a traditional manufacturing set up to

an advanced manufacturing one. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has also stated that

advanced manufacturing is one of Japan’s key growing sectors and has also predicted that it will reach

about 270 billion dollars by 2020. This includes IoT-related technologies and smart factory applications in

machineries.

Coming to the current market scenario of the machinery industry, the latest government data reveals

that core machinery orders in Japan plunged 18.3 per cent in September of 2018, after a 6.8 % jump in

the previous month and compared to market expectations of a 9.5 % decline. It was the fourth fall in sev-

en months and the sharpest monthly drop on record.

The mechanical engineering industry is largely dominated by these four players. Hence, keeping in mind,

the changing dynamics and trade uncertainties in the market, we hope that the industry witnesses a sig-

nificant growth in the months to come.
