A new dimension in body tuning - "Morphing aeropackages"

To give you a quick background, the idea is to have the front and back of the car to morph to improve aerodynamic capabilities. This is done using the car onboard computer to determine, depending on the speed and track curves the best shape to increase the cars performance. While giving the possibility to adapt multiple shapes, the system can be custom designed to fit each cars independently.
This technology is currently being developed for morphing wings on small recognition aircrafts and we are looking for other applications. The shape of the spoiler completely change forms under electrical impulse, the inner core is made of composite material arranged in tiny honeycomb structure having the possibility to elongate themselves in any direction under specific electrical signal. The outer skin is a flexible composite close to rubber to adopt the new shape. The development of new materials to comply with this technology is currently ongoing.

And please help us by filling in a 2 minutes survey so that we can improve our concept better: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=J9Cguew22Dlb194z_2fG5shA_3d_3d


Many thanks!!
