DDMotorsports: Kognition Design Wing Development

M.Bonanni

Ok, tested the new version of the wing on Friday and no problems whatsoever! Everything is SOLID as a rock . Here is an email that Kognition sent out about it...

"This week, testing was completed at Willow Springs Raceway of the new Variant 1 track wing. The wing surpassed performance expectations on the test car, time attack driver Mike Bonanni's 370Z. We were able to make some significant strength improvements during the testing phase. The main focus was on wing rigidity, and range of adjustability. The wing is adjustable from 5 degrees to 18 degrees angle of attack in one degree increments. Kognition has focused on product performance, reliabilty and ease of setup. Kognition has set out to produce very high quality track wings for drivers looking for every available advantage for downforce and adjustment. An extra value added feature for customers, is the ability to provide custom CFD downforce/drag/HP charts for a given custom wingspan. Customers want more value for their dollar, and we are here to answer the call. With extensive use of CFD simulation, CAD drawing, cnc and waterjetting, Kognition wings are close tollerance wings. Each wing is vacuum bagged on a high precision cnc cut tooling that is 1/10,000" in tollerance. Kognition's founder Mike Mishler, brought this discipline in from the world of F1 racing. "We had to bring the market up to speed and up to par for quality performance wings that can take severe abuse from both driver and extreme environments". All Kognition wings are produced using only 100% aerospace grade structural carbon fiber. And molded using the best vinyl ester resin available. Nothing has been compromised. We are in fact bringing F1 quality construction to the aftermarket. The new wing profile is called the "Variant 1". And is scheduled to be produced in kit form for the following platforms for 2010: Evo 8,9,10 / Honda S2K / Mazda RX8/ Nissan 350Z, 370Z / Nissan 240SX (S13 fastback, S14) / Hyundai Genesis
