The launch of Xiaomi's cars is very close, although no date has been set yet, but sales will start in the first quarter of 2024. Until then, leaked and real info about the upcoming vehicle keeps coming, like today's patent for the electronically adjustable rear wing.
The abstract shows that the patent relates to the rear wing of a vehicle and a vehicle. The rear wing of the vehicle includes a rear wing support, a first movable air deflector, a second movable air deflector, a first angle adjustment mechanism, and a second angle adjustment mechanism. The first angle adjusting mechanism and the second angle adjusting mechanism can adjust the angle of the first movable air deflector and the second movable air deflector to create a drag differential between the inner and outer wings of the vehicle, thereby generating additional steering torque that is comfortable for the driver to operate.
By Xiaomi patents filed a good part of which has not yet been implemented on any of its products, but some of which has been implemented. Patents on Xiaomi cars are treated in the same way.
So one of the Xiaomi car models might come with speed-dependent rear wing characteristics. Although I'm not a big car tech, but only sports or supersport series cars will see a similar solution. Although in most cases it just protrudes from the bar at the right speed and thus generates extra downforce. Xiaomi's patent on the other hand is for a fixed rear wing, from the picture it looks like a racing car part. Is it really just an idea that Xiaomi is planning to make a racing car?
