Hi GTTR34,

Yeah the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing is extremely cool technology and is used on a number of top time attack cars including the Crawford STi, the AMS/NOS Energy Drink EVO X, and on the Cannonball R35, the Forged Performance R35, and the Budez R35.

There are some comments here from the drivers of those cars on how well it works ...

The static version of the Aeromotions R2 wing is also extremely effective and can be upgraded to dynamic operation later on.

There is an interesting link to Nissan with the active aero. The active split wing was pioneered by Nissan on the R381 (shown above) which won the 1968 Japanese Grand Prix.

Expect to see the Aeromotions Dynamic Wings on a number of cars in Australia in the new year

More fluff technology for a car that already has too much fluff technology. I bet owners are too lazy to even jack off manually and have some electronic aid!

2 seconds a lap hey... hmmmm... that seems a bit far fetched

still cool though:)

There's a thread on these in the 35 section: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ad...er-t293942.html

2 seconds a lap hey... hmmmm... that seems a bit far fetched

Hi Nick,

Like any technological leap forward, there are always people who want to see detailed results data, so we're more than happy to provide data to back up the time saving results being achieved by teams running the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing ...

Aeromotions did back to back testing at Thunderhill Raceway on an E36 BMW, which produced the following lap time results:

Without Aeromotions Wing: 2 minutes 10.1 seconds

With Aeromotions Static Wing: 2 minutes 9.2 seconds

With Aeromotions Dynamic Wing: 2 Minutes 8.4 seconds

With Aeromotions Dynamic Wing With Centre Fence: 2 minutes 7.7 seconds.

Lap times with the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing With Centre Fence were 1.5 seconds a lap faster than with a static wing, and 2.4 seconds faster than without an Aeromotions wing.

Click here to see the back to back testing video with Traqmate Data Acquisition for yourself. ...

There is a summary here of the data and info about the car, driver and testing methodology ...

A detailed turn by turn data analysis can be found here, which includes plots turn by turn of the lateral G-force, acceleration and braking G-force, velocity, and time difference ...

COMMENTS FROM TEAMS RUNNING THE AEROMOTIONS DYNAMIC WINGS

If you take a look at the comments from teams who are running the Aeromotions wings at http://www.tunersgroup.com/Products/aeromotions.html you will see that the comments mentioning lap time improvements on the Budez R35, the Forged Perfomance R35 and the 997RS are comments which people using the Aeromotions wings have posted themselves on Nagtroc and elsewhere ...

In terms of the Budez R35, http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?sh...mp;#entry471848 reads ...

"Go active all the way ...

Aeromotions has a couple versions available now so it's not cost prohibitive at all.

In general the tracks we have been on are around 2 minute laps and the wing in an active mode shaves 1.5 to 2 seconds off each lap ...

AMS Evo, Crawford, Fontana Nissan all run a variant of Aeromotions in Red Line.

There just isn't a static angle wing that can compare to something active."

For the new Aeromotions Dynamic Wing RS, http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/gt3-gt2...wing-moves.html reads ...

"While at the track, we got Craig Stanton behind the wheel for his feedback. If you're not familiar with Craig. He's won Koni Challenge and Grand-Am championships in Porsches, so he knows what he's doing ...

Craig was blown away by the aero package. On the first of two days, he was very fast with the wing, but he wanted some changes. He felt that the car could use more downforce in the corners than the maneuvering AoA provided, so he asked for some "minor changes."

To their credit, the Aeromotions guys pulled an all-nighter and rewrote the algorithm governing wing function. Their changes modified the system's behavior such that it maintains the braking AoA throughout the corner until the accelerometer sees lateral acceleration drop and vehicle speed increase, at which time the wing drops to straightaway mode.

Craig's results were validation of this entire endeavor. In back-to-back testing of the fixed wing versus active using a TraqMate, he picked up over 12 MPH on the front straight, over 8 MPH at the end of the uphill esses, over 7 MPH on the back straight and knocked off more than 1.6 seconds over a full lap. More than once he said that the wing saved him from spins. He was able to brake later as well as shorten the braking zones ...

I have no affiliation with the company other than being the first to ante up and get the project done. I am not a salesman for the company, nor do I have any sort of arrangement whereby I get commission from Porsche sales. I'm simply a happy customer and enthusiastic about a company formed by two very bright kids with a novel product that actually works."

In terms of the Forged Perfomance R35, http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?sh...st&p=472311 reads ...

"My GT-R was transformed with the wing. I dropped 1.5 seconds on a 1:20 course at Roebling Road, and the difference in feel is immediately noticable.

I could transition to full power earlier at corner exit, and the high speed oversteer I had been fighting was completely gone.

I am running the static wing for now. I imagine the active will add another few tenths of a second at least.

This wing is one of the few, that has some serious science and research behind it."

The most recent post on the Forged website reads ...

"... pleased to report another podium finish at last weekends Redline Time Attack Event, at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California ... What’s even more remarkable is this was Sharif’s first time laying eyes on Autoclub Speedway and the very intimidating Turn 1 and Turn 2 banked oval section where he saw speeds exceeding 170mph.

The car ran beautifully all weekend long ...

The addition of the Aeromotions R2 Active rear wing helped shave nearly a second off Saturday’s practice times which were run without active aero. All of the fast track GT-Rs are running this type of wing, and it’s proven incredibly effective."

RECORDS BROKEN BY CARS RUNNING AEROMOTIONS WINGS

In addition, the records broken by cars running Aeromotions wings speak for themselves ...

http://aeromotions.com/2009/05/cannonball-...lap-of-america/ reads ...

"One of the last pre-production Aeromotions R2 wings landed in the capable hands of Will Taylor and Steven Ranking, drivers of the Cannonball GTR.

Installed on the morning they left for One Lap, the R2 helped the Cannonball GTR break the 5-year-old wet skidpad record, pulling an astonishing .953 G’s.

Over the ensuing week, Taylor and Rankins used the in-cabin remote control to quickly and effectively dial in the right amount of down force for each new track in the series.

“While other teams spent twenty minutes every time they wanted to adjust their aero setups for a given track, we were able to optimize our Aeromotions wing in twenty seconds and ended up with the perfect tune.” – Will Taylor.

At Daytona, Taylor ran a blistering 2:00.34 on the 24hrs track configuration. It’s impressive to see a street legal GT-R, running street tires, turn in times equivolant to the GT1 cars of ‘96. His top speed of the morning session was 173.5mph.

After tweaking the wing a little more, Taylor hit 177mph in the afternoon."

http://aeromotions.com/2009/07/ams-evo-claims-track-record/ reads ...

"6/26/09 Nashville, TN. Redline Time Attack at the Nashville Super Speedway ...

The AMS/NOS Energy Drink EVO X took the number one position in grid.

In the first round, AMS charged around the bank clearly on a mission to lay down a fast lap.

As it rounded the final bend, Mark Daddio sailed across the finish with a time of 1:01.296 – breaking the track record for a lap in competition at the Nashville Super Speedway by nearly 2.5 seconds"

Bottom line is that the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing works, teams using the Aeromotions wing have openly published comments themselves on various forums stating how well it works with details on lap time improvements that they have experienced, and there is a wealth of data to back up Aeromotions' test results.

The wing profile of the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing was developed from military research into wing profiles used on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's).

This cutting edge wing profile provides outstanding efficiency, low drag and superior aerodynamic performance for your car.

What you are seeing is simply a big leap forward in racing aero technology that has come about as a combination of research at the wind tunnel at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) the world's premier private research and engineering university, countless hours of refinement through Computational Fluid Dynamic modeling (CFD), and the vision of some very very smart engineers.

As mentioned above, you can expect to see the Aeromotions Dynamic Wings on a number of cars in Australia in the new year, so you'll be able to see the results on Australian tracks firsthand yourself.
