Adaptive Aerodynamic DRS Systems: Applications in Electric Vehicles, RoadLegal Racecars, and High-Speed Motorcycles

Abstract Drag Reduction Systems (DRS), initially pioneered in Formula 1, allow dynamic
aerodynamic adjustments to reduce drag and increase speed. This study explores DRS integration into Electric Vehicles (EVs), road-legal racecars, and high-speed motorcycles. Using NASA FoilSim simulations, we analyze airfoil behaviors under varying camber and angle-of-attack conditions. Results indicate opportunities for improved energy efficiency, enhanced track performance, and increased stability across platforms. Real-world design proposals and simulation data validate the adaptability and effectiveness of DRS in modern transportation.
