Dynamic split rear spoiler

The faster a car goes, the more downforce its various wings, spoilers and splitters can produce. There's always a trade-off though, as the byproduct of downforce is more drag, which reduces a car's top speed. Supercars like the Bugatti Veyron use active aerodynamics to produce the right amount of downforce for a specific situation like twisty road courses or high-speed runs, but cars like the Veyron are out of reach for most. Enter AeroMotions, a company that promises its rear wing assembly will provide the perfect amount of downforce at all times. The carbon fiber wing is split into two sections, each one moving independently of one another to offer just the right amount of traction. An on-board computer constantly monitors acceleration, braking and lateral acceleration so it can actively change the pitch of the wing's sections in real-time as the car is being driven, effectively giving more or less downforce to whichever side of the car needs it most. AeroMotions' wing is currently undergoing testing, and one of our readers happened to witness it in action in California and was impressed.

wheres all the dampers to help with the air force its just lowering by air its a good idea but needs more to make it better its got no strenth in it to hold the thing up when it needs to be!

the split spoiler is not moving due to the force of the wind. The actuators controlling the angle of each half of the spoiler are connected to several sensors measuring the input from steering wheel, speed of the car, brakes and accelerator etc. via a computer. Depending of what level of down force is required for best results, the actuators change the angle of each half of the split spoiler.

Its funny how people make fun of tuners or ricers but yet my talon eats up v8 all the time especialy 302 mustangs and I get killer gas millage:)

How much does this technology cost?

[NoSleepRacing]

damn I have been thinking about doing this for a long time its pretty awesome I would really like to see how you guys did this

[ILOVEHIACE30]

i bet that the producer get this idea from aeroplane

[Forde3654Eire]

Seriously? On Nurburgring at high speeds yeah maybe it would work. But not in a little car park like this...

[THED2K22]

amazin idea helps take corners and stop the car if u add air brake function brillant for after market parts if it would be road legal id buy it

[Nismoke]

really really nice patent but here comes a question...how long do the actuators last?

[ryans523]

@basarg13 MORON, is what you are

[saturbo1107]

I invented this crap about 8 years ago, and never get it register.. But my idea was an Hydraulic type.. =(
