<p>A variable aerodynamic device for a vehicle, comprising: a wing element 1 having a front and a rear; a frame 2 for mounting to a vehicle body; a linear actuator 4, 5 mounted between the frame 2 and a first location 8 on the wing element 1 for moving the rear of the wing element 1 between a raised position and a lowered position relative to the frame; and a linkage 9 mounted between the frame 2 and the wing element 1, the linkage 9 being pivotally coupled to the wing element 1 at a second location 10 forwards of the first location 8. The linkage 10 is configured such that when the rear of the wing element 1 is moved by the linear actuator 4, 5 between the raised position and the lowered position the second location 10 moves rearwardly relative to the frame 2.</p> |
