How hard is it to install?

The Dynamic Wing is completely self contained. All of the actuators, control rods, and sensors are included. Installation is as easy as mounting the wing on your trunk, mounting the control box to a flat surface in your car, and connecting the control box to a switched power supply in your car. In fact, when we first mounted the wing onto Vic Sias’s car, we performed the installation between sign up and the driver’s meeting, and were driving and tuning the wing soon after.

This has to be heavy with all those actuators…

The complete unit, as shown in the video weighs under 14lbs.  The Dynamic Wing S2 shown on the GT-R is 9.48lbs.  The stock GT-R wing actually weights more.  Widely available wings on the market are typically in the 15-20lb range.

Do I need a laptop to run this?

No. Using Patent Pending technology, the AeroMotions Dynamic Aero Processor Technology (ADAPT) controller monitors acceleration, braking and lateral G’s to dynamically provide the optimal downforce. The ADAPT controller can be tuned with the push of a button to let you quickly and easily set up your wing to your car, to your driving style and to the track conditions.

How and What can I tune?

The control panel allows you to tune the dynamics and response of the wing. A first time user will be able to learn the interface very quickly. There are advanced tuning options that will be available through select tuning shops, and through Aeromotions racing support team.

I saw your video. Why aren’t you running a bigger wing on an autocross car?

We designed the Dynamic Wing you see in the video for road-course speeds where we see potential for significant benefit in Time Attack and other forms of motorsport where innovation is embraced and the rules are of the “run what you brung” ilk. That said, we also see potential for the Dynamic Wing Assembly in other forms of motorsport including Solo and road racing in the classes such as NASA GTS and BMWCCA SuperMod where this is legal. Vic Sias was kind enough to partner with us in testing the Dynamic Wing on a successful, consistent car in a place where we could see everything it was doing as it was doing it - an autocross.

I saw your video. Why are you not using a middle fence?

The rules in the autocross class in which Vic Sias’ car competes, SCCA Street Modified, only allows 2 fences. The wing is has hard mounting points for two optional middle fences.  We run one or more middle fences in classes that allow it.

Is it legal for racing?

There are many grass-roots, intermediate and national-level racing series whereyou can run your car with an Active Wing Assembly. We are activelyworking with competition directors in various classes to help ensure that innovation will flourish in racing.

SCCA Solo

For Solo, the Active Wing Assembly is allowed in Street Modified, Street Modified 2, and the Street Touring Classes (STS, STX, STU) per 16.1 of the rules. We have been running in Street Modified for a number of years on the national level where building to the limit of the rules is the norm, and we feel this interpretation of the rules is correct. While the wing is engineering for motorsports, we foresee that many of our Dynamic Wing Assemblies will be used by street enthusiasts. So we hope that rulings in Solo will remain this way so as to not disclude (exclude?) any of street enthusiasts who decide to use this wing assembly. The active wing assembly is also very much in the spirit of time attack, which is a very reasonable close step to the SM auto-x classes.

Time Attack

The Dynamic Wing is allowed in the Modified and Unlimited classes of the RedLine TimeAttack series. It is also legal in similar classes of national and international Time Attack series.

Road Racing

The active wing is OK to run in the more unlimited-preparation- classes such asNASA GTS and BMWCCA SuperMod.

Current rules on active aerodynamics in many road-racing series currently prohibit the Aeromotions Dynamic Wing Assembly running in active-mode.

However, there is still significant benefit to running an Aeromotions wing whilecompeting in these classes. The Aeromotions wing profile is a true motorsports-level wing profile competitive with other static motorsport-level wings on the market. We have spoken with several competition directors about this wing providing value to racing organization members while not encroaching on the current rules in such classes. We are developing a highly visible locking device to address these concerns.

With rising fuel costs, getting to the track is expensive. Track time is expensive. In-laps and out-laps are expensive. With an Aeromotions Dynamic WingAssembly you can adjust the angle of attack without an in-lap/out-lap then set and lock the wing for qualifying and racing. Your valuable testing time is better used and the wing is still lockable for racing. You could also compare handling in lockout mode to handling with the active feature enabled.
