The Aerodynamic Performance of Lotus EMEYA

<div>In this article, the aerodynamic features of two configurations of Lotus EMEYA are introduced. The first configuration includes a fixed air dam and an active rear spoiler (ARS) assembly, which has two active blades in order to obtain the aerodynamic drag and lift performance required. The second configuration includes an Active Air Dam (AAD) assembly and a gurney flap mounted on the ARS in order to achieve more aggressive aerodynamic performance. The aerodynamic bandwidths and the lift balances of both configurations are demonstrated, and the strategies of active aero components of the two configurations are also introduced. Through active aerodynamics and control strategies, the two configurations of Lotus EMEYA can meet the performance requirements of users in different scenarios.</div>

Abstract

<div>In this article, the aerodynamic features of two configurations of Lotus EMEYA are introduced. The first configuration includes a fixed air dam and an active rear spoiler (ARS) assembly, which has two active blades in order to obtain the aerodynamic drag and lift performance required. The second configuration includes an Active Air Dam (AAD) assembly and a gurney flap mounted on the ARS in order to achieve more aggressive aerodynamic performance. The aerodynamic bandwidths and the lift balances of both configurations are demonstrated, and the strategies of active aero components of the two configurations are also introduced. Through active aerodynamics and control strategies, the two configurations of Lotus EMEYA can meet the performance requirements of users in different scenarios.</div>
