I worked on this project with a fellow student for advanced mechanism design. The goal of this project was to manipulate the McLaren P1 rear wing through four design positions using a four-bar mechanism. The mechanism also must be able to be packaged reasonably within the vehicle body. The default system was a series of pneumatic cylinders. The pictures in the project show the wing in its different design positions. More design work needs to be done, but this provides a proof of concept.
