  • Patent number: 10864950
    Abstract: A vehicle, comprising: a vehicle body; a wing having an upper side and a front; a wing support mounted between the vehicle body and the wing, the wing support extending from the upper side of the wing, around the front of the wing, to the vehicle body and being pivotally attached to the wing at a first location on the wing so that the first location is positionally fixed relative to the wing support and the wing can rotate between a first position and a second position; a linear actuator for moving the wing between the first position and the second position; and a linkage pivotally attached to the wing at a second location forwards of the first location and coupled to the linear actuator so that the linear actuator can move the wing between the first position and the second position; wherein the wing is capable of imposing a downforce on the wing support acting through a centre of pressure of the wing as a result of the action of rearward airflow on the wing and the centre of pressure is located rearwards of
