The purpose of this Senior Design Project was to design and build an actively actuated front wing for the Oklahoma State Formula SAE competition car. This was accomplished using multiple engineering analysis and design methods, as well as multiple methods of product manufacturing and testing. The Aerodynamics, Mechanical, Electrical, and Testing sub-teams worked together to design and build a carbon fiber multi-tier actively actuated front wing. The results of testing showed that the wing decreased overall lap time, translating to up to an 8-place improvement in the skid pad competition, as well as up to a 12-place improvement in the autocross competition.
