Independent wind tunnel test All sizes back in stock

More downforce than any aluminum wing tested.

The WingLogic MSHD went head-to-head with the 9 Lives Racing Big Wang and the Pro Car Innovations wing in the A2 wind tunnel. Same cars, same AOAs. The MSHD made more downforce and gave the whole car a better lift-to-drag ratio every time.

The data

Three brands. Same tunnel.

Every wing ran with identical endplates instead of the ones in the box, so the airfoil is the only variable. Figures are in pounds at a 100 mph reference speed, with wing angle measured from horizontal.

The number that matters

Whole-car lift-to-drag ratio

A wing that makes little downforce barely moves the car. The MSHD gave the best vehicle L/D on both cars, at every angle tested. Higher is better.

Dual element · Max downforce

Built as a dual, the MSHD out-pulls the 9 Lives dual.

Even with an improvised upper element, the MSHD dual beat 9 Lives Racing's near-maximum 0/35 setting and edged it on car L/D. Ideal for autocross and tight tracks where downforce is everything. A purpose-built MSHD upper element is in development. Dual element kit coming soon.

Why it wins

A motorsport airfoil, not an airplane wing.

01 · Designed for downforce

MSHD means Motor Sports High Downforce. More camber and thickness than aviation airfoils, shaped to work as a rear wing, a front wing in ground effect, or a dual element.

02 · Runs angles others can't

Still attached at 9° on a roofline that already adds 5–7°. The center of the wing doesn't stall, so you get much of a 3D wing's benefit from a 2D extrusion.

03 · Works at real speeds

A 250 mm chord tested at roughly 680K Reynolds, well over twice its design point, and it performed. Lighter than the original Wing-Logic wing, at the same price.

How it was tested

A2 wind tunnel at 85 mph; results reported at a 100 mph reference. Wing angles measured from horizontal. All wings ran identical endplates.

The 9 Lives wing showed slightly higher wing-only L/D on the Veloster; the MSHD delivered the higher whole-car L/D. The MSHD has more chord than both competitors, part of why it makes more downforce at the same length.

Comparison covers aluminum wings; large-chord carbon wings were excluded.

The data picked a wing.
