Active aerodynamic flap geometry: BayerRecent Research Landscape
Uncontrolled flap deployment causes mechanical wear and safety risks during vehicle operation. These innovations utilize integrated damping within gas pressure assemblies to regulate kinetic energy and prevent structural fatigue.
What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Active aerodynamic flap geometry?
Inaccessible vehicle charging ports
(13)evidences
Mechanical or electrical failure preventing access to critical vehicle compartments. Ensuring entry during power loss or component malfunction maintains vehicle utility and safety.
Obstructed flap movement interference
(9)evidences
Mechanical resistance or environmental interference prevents the consistent opening and movement of aerodynamic surfaces. Resolving these movement failures ensures predictable aerodynamic performance and prevents component damage.
Pedestrian impact head injury
(8)evidences
Rigid vehicle exterior components cause severe trauma during collisions with vulnerable road users. Reducing impact severity through kinetic energy management improves safety ratings and regulatory compliance.
Excessive aerodynamic drag
(7)evidences
Sudden release of spring force causes mechanical shock and component wear during flap actuation. Controlling this energy prevents structural damage and improves operational safety.
Incomplete vehicle hatch closure
(4)evidences
Mechanical instability or security vulnerability in movable body panels. Preventing unintended opening ensures passenger safety and vehicle security.
