Abstract
A wing mechanism for selectively exerting a downwardly directed force to a vehicle. The wing mechanism includes a wing member, an axle, a pair of pivot arms and a drive assembly. The wing member is adapted to be pivotably coupled to the vehicle body about a first axis. The axle is adapted to be pivotably coupled to the vehicle body about a second axis parallel to the first axis. Each of the pivot arms has a first end and a second end wherein the first end of each pivot arm is pivotably coupled to the wing member and the second end of each pivot arm is coupled for rotation with the axle. The drive assembly is coupled to the axle and operable for selectively positioning the axle in a rotational position to adjust an angular position of the wing structure.
