However, advantage
of Nsphere drone is the ability in tilting each main
wing entirely, thereby changing
angle of attack of each
wing.
As the
wings beat up and down, they aerodynamically twist to change their
angle of attack (tilting upward or downward), using the same technique birds use to generate thrust.
Then the researchers measured the aerodynamic response
of the creatures»
wings, taking into account variables like flight speed,
attack angle, and bone structure.
The
wing, which sits on carbon - fiber pylons, still has the Drag Reduction System feature
of the road car, meaning it can alter its
angle of attack from 32 degrees to zero degrees at speed to help bolster the car's top speed.
In Race mode, like with the new Ford GT, the
wing reaches its highest position and most aggressive
angle of attack, forcing the P1 into the ground for extreme lateral grip.

wing is specially designed to fit the Lotus 2 - Eleven manufactured from 2007 to 2011 and is adjustable allowing you to fine tune the
angle of attack of the
wing.
Similarly, the rear
wing is extended to its maximum height with the greatest
angle of attack.
In «Sport» mode, the aerodynamic control system reduces the
attack angle of the rear
wing somewhat, which enables a higher top speed.
The rear
wing also sits 20 millimeters higher than before, which allows it to be run at a lower
angle of attack, helping reduce drag.
It's even adjustable, though not with fancy electronics; owners adjust the
wing between two
angles of attack simply by undoing a bolt on either side.
