Patent ID: 11919578
Assignee: SHIFT WINGS LIMITED
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  Y | IPC B

Claim 10:
11. A movable wing/aerofoil assembly for shifting where and how much downforce is exerted on a moving vehicle, the wing/aerofoil assembly is mounted to a vehicle and includes:
a) a left wing/aerofoil and a right wing/aerofoil; and
b) a left carriage and a right carriage, the left carriage connected to and supporting the left wing/aerofoil and the right carriage connected to and supporting the right wing/aerofoil and the right carriage, the carriages are adapted to move laterally relative to the longitudinal extent of the vehicle, the carriages are adapted and capable of moving in unison in the same laterally direction and are adapted and capable of moving independently and in opposite lateral directions;, wherein the movable wing/aerofoil assembly allows the wing/aerofoils to move laterally relative to the vehicle as the vehicle is being driven such that the lateral movement and positioning of the wing/aerofoils on the vehicle corresponds to the optimum or desired aerodynamic downforce required by the moving vehicle and allows for the dynamic adjustment of the position and magnitude of aerodynamic downforce applied to the vehicle relative to the direction the vehicle is moving.
