БМВ Х5. На сколько круто она рулится?

Как бы кто-то путает рулежку(управляемость) и поворачиваемость. Об этом мы уже говорили, но вот наткнулся на хорошо сформулированные понятия и решил поделиться.

Handling and Cornering are often used to describe the same vehicle/driver characteristics, but they are two separate issues.

Cornering

Cornering is the amount of centrifugal force the car can generate measured in g’s, and expressed as Lateral Acceleration.

Cornering is a measurement of the force exerted on the vehicle’s center of gravity. That force is called Lateral Acceleration and is measured in G’s. The higher the G’s, the more force the vehicle can absorb, which in turn means there is more cornering power available to the driver.

When testing vehicles, most car magazines measure cornering capability by driving a vehicle around a skid pad, which is a circle with a known radius. The driver will increase the vehicle’s speed until they cannot keep the vehicle centered on the radius. To ensure accurate results the magazines instrument the vehicles with computers that measure Lateral Acceleration/Cornering Power.

As an example of cornering power; in a Motor Trend article the Police Package Dodge Charger was measured to have .84G of Lateral Acceleration/Cornering Power (high for a sedan).

Handling

Handling can be qualified and quantified as how the car responds to the driver, handling expresses controllability.

Handling is defined as how the car responds to the driver, handling expresses controllability, and is the car and driver working together.

Handling is about predictability – The car has to be stable up to the limit of adhesion
(Limit of adhesion is the same as the limit of its cornering power)
Handling is what happens when the vehicle reaches the limit of adhesion?
(What does the vehicle do at the limit of its cornering power?)
When the car starts to lose grip – the traction should not fall off the end of a cliff (should not be a surprise)
Handling is communication between the driver and the car – good handling cars are linear.
(Good handling cars communicate the approach to the limit of adhesion – good drivers understand this communication – good driving instructors teach and coach their student to understand the communication between the vehicle and the driver)
The engineer’s are all saying the same thing – what happens to the vehicle’s output at or approaching the limit of its cornering power is what defines handling.

Андрей, я тут нашел ЖИР, правда, столетней давности, но от этого все становится еще показательнее.
Речь о поклонении импорту в царской России, крейсереВаряг и ТЕХНИЧЕСКИХ нюансах изделий иностранных рукожопофф. Читал и плакал.
Ссыль1. Сначала ее читануть про особенности конструкции котлов

Ссыль2. Собственно ЖИР.

В принципе, можно как отдельный псто запилить.
