UAM Adjustable Wing *TEASER*

Nice work. Agree on making center carbon... and gurney flap. If you want to sell to racers, you'll need to post the aero data on it... downforce as a function

Nice work.

Agree on making center carbon... and gurney flap.

If you want to sell to racers, you'll need to post the aero data on it... downforce as a function of angle and air speed. What is cord length? What wing shape / cross-section did you use, and why? etc.

Look forward to seeing it mounted.

I don't think real hardcore racers are the target market for this. There's the group that buys it for looks, there's the weekend warrior that is still concerned with how his track car looks, and then there's the guy who cares more about function than form. I think this product caters only to the first two groups, the third group is the only one that would care about aero data and if you care about aero data you're going to end up with a real wing anyway. Just my opinion.

Agreed!we aren't looking to compete with companies like APR for a fully track prepped wing. This is to give guys a functional motorized rear wing while still looking good. We will be looking to get the most out of the wing design as well. It will perform well and look good.
