Downforce when you need it, low drag when you don't
Aeromotions has developed a range of products to put active aero in the hands of racers and car enthusiasts around the world, and which solve a fundamental compromise in racecar aerodynamics.
The patented Aeromotions Dynamic Wing moves automatically into a steeper angle of attack in corners for maximum downforce and grip, then flattens automatically into a shallower low drag angle of attack on the straights, for maximum straightline speed.
So you get downforce when and where you need it, and lower aerodynamic drag on the straights - the holy grail of racecar aerodynamics.
In addition to it's Dynamic Wings, Aeromotions manufactures a static version of it's rear wing which can be upgraded later to full dynamic operation - providing an affordable upgrade path from static to dynamic operation. Full info on the Aeromotions product range can be found at the bottom of this page.
For racing categories which do not allow active aerodynamics on race day, Aeromotions wings can be used in a locked static mode on raceday.
And for finding the ideal setup for your rear wing in categories which do not allow active aero on raceday, Aeromotions manufactures the Aeromotions Tuning Tool, which can be used with a wide range of static wings from a wide range of manufacturers - you do not need to buy an Aeromotions Wing to use the Aeromotions Tuning Tool. - more info below.

Lower Lap Times, Fully Automatic Computer Control
Wind tunnel designed and race-proven, Dynamic Wings reduce your lap time. Fully automatic, and computer controlled, these plug and play wings take the guesswork out of your aero package.
The Aeromotions Dynamic Wing™ was born in the wind tunnel at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the world's leading engineering research facility.
The Aeromotions A.D.A.P.T. Dynamic Wing Controller
The behaviour of the Dynamic Wing™ is completely tunable to suit the characteristics of your car, and the movement of the wing is controlled by the cutting edge A.D.A.P.T Dynamic Wing controller, shown above.
A convenient handheld remote control unit is also available for in car adjustment at the touch of a button.
Bolt on plug and play Dynamic Wing packages are available for a range of vehicles - see further down this page for info on which vehicles kits are available for.
Proven Results
The Aeromotions Dynamic Wing has been proven in testing and competition to cut lap times.
Back to back testing at Thunderhiill Raceway on an E36 BMW 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.

The age old aerodynamics compromise ... solved.
In the past, vehicle aerodynamics have always been a compromise and a trade off ...
Increasing the angle of attack of aerodynamic devices always increased downforce and grip, but at the expense of increased drag and reduced straightline speed.
Conversely, if you set you car up for minimum drag and maximum straightline speed, then that could only be achieved at the expense of lower downforce and lower grip in the corners.
So in the past, race engineers have always had to pick a compromise between the two extremes - but always at the expense of both lower straightline speed and lower downforce in the corners.
The holy grail of racecar aerodynamics has always been a wing which provides maximum downforce in corners, but low drag for maximum speed on the straights, and to make it affordable to racers and car enthusiasts around the world.
For many years, this was simply unachievable, for the simple reasons that (1) you can't fight physics, and (2) active aero was only affordable by high end supercar manufacturers and a small number of top racing teams.
Aeromotions' Dynamic Wing provides a solution to this fundamental compromise in racecar engineering, by developing it's patented dynamic wing, which moves into a steeper or flatter angle of attack, depending on if you are on a straight or in a corner.
It is now available in a range of bolt on packages for various vehicles. See below for a list of vehicles the Dynamic Wing is available for.

Countless hours of refinement – through Computational Fluid Dynamic modeling (CFD) – led to its signature high downforce, low drag design.
MIT is a participating institution in the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, which is administered by NASA.
The reputation and engineering expertise at MIT is so advanced that a large percentage of research carried out at MIT is funded by NASA, the US Department of Defence, the US Department of Energy, and the US National Science Foundation.
http://web.mit.edu/facts/research.html
Aeromotions was founded by a group of engineers and racing enthusiasts who wanted to go faster.
Inspired by racing legends such as Jim Hall of Chaparral fame, the team developed products to put active aero in the hands of racers and car enthusiasts around the world.
Not Allowed Run Active Aero In Your Racing Category ?
While some series don’t allow active aero on raceday, Aeromotions Dynamic Wings can be locked into a static position for raceday, keeping rulemakers happy.
Aeromotions Dynamic Wing In Car Remote
Teams using the Dynamic Wing is this way use the wing in dynamic mode during testing and practice to find the right wing setting quickly, then lock the wing with your chosen static setting for race day.
During testing and practive the in-cabin remote lets you quickly dial in the aero. This allows you to find the right aero setup fast, and saves you money and time in testing and setup.
The built in lock out feature lets you run the Dynamic Wing in static mode on raceday, keeping rulemakers who don't allow dynamic wings on raceday happy.
In addition to it's Dynamic Wings, Aeromotions manufactures a static version of it's rear wing which can be upgraded later to full dynamic operation - providing an affordable upgrade path from static to dynamic operation.
And for finding the ideal setup for your rear wing in categories which do not allow active aero on raceday, Aeromotions manufactures the Aeromotions Tuning Tool, which can be used with a wide range of static wings from a wide range of manufacturers - you do not need to buy an Aeromotions Wing to use the Aeromotions Tuning Tool - more info below.

The Advan / Hi Octane Racing R34 GT-R is one of the most successful time attack cars in the world.
The Advan / Hi Octane Racing R34 GT-R is now running a cutting edge computer controlled Aeromotions R2 Dynamic Wing.
Mark Berry, owner & driver of the Advan / Hi Octane Racing R34 GT-R said ...
We believe this wing will give us the extra speed and grip that we are looking for to get the most from the car.
The ability to be able to tune the aero setup of the car when needed will play a very important role in the cars success.
I am very excited to be working with The Tuners Group and Aeromotions with the R2 Dynamic Wing
Crawford Subaru WRX STi
Quirt Crawford, owner of Crawford Performance, came to Aeromotions with a simple problem ... Huge amounts of power, not enough stick.
Adding the Aeromotions R2 Dynamic Wing glued his STI to the track, and increased stopping power.
How well does it work? After getting used to the active aero, they turned off the R2 wing's brake assist and the car slid off track. When the dusty Subaru came back, Tarzan said:
The wing works.
AMS/NOS Energy Drink EVO X
A post from AMS Performance on NAGTROC here http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=36378&view=findpost&p=496326 reads ...
We run one on our Time attack car and its just plain SICK!!!! quite possible one the best Aero items we have ever put on a race car. HIGHLY recommend this!
http://aeromotions.com/2009/07/ams-evo-claims-track-record/ reads ...
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 !
Cannonball GT-R
http://aeromotions.com/2009/05/cannonball-gtr-takes-the-win-one-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.
COBB Tuning Motorsports R35 GT-R
An article published by Aeromotions reads ...
"Big-power and high-speeds demand efficient and effective aerodynamics to keep the tires planted, especially when racing around the “roval” of Auto Club Speedway at 180mph!" ...
“I am very impressed with our new Aeromotions wing,” said GT-R driver Brian Lock.
“We were able to balance out our aero package with 3 degrees less angle than our previous wing. This tells us that the Aeromotions aerofoil is extremely efficient, creating the same downforce with less drag.
This should definitely show on the time sheets at tracks like Auto Club Speedway where drag is a major problem. And considering the 180+mph speeds reached at that track, knowing that this wing is built to withstand the huge aero loading gives me the confidence to push that much harder.” "

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.
