The GTC-500 Carbon Fiber Adjustable Wing is the largest wing
available in APR's catalog. With its optimized 3D airfoil shape, the GTC-500 is
perfect for high speed touring applications and supplies an ample amount of down
force without causing excess drag. All GTC Series wings feature an aerodynamic
3D designed airfoil shape to obtain the optimal balance of down force. This
design allows for a reduction in drag, yet maintains an ideal level of down
force. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed on this wing to
support validation of its aerodynamic design.
Each GTC Series airfoil is composed of lightweight and durable carbon fiber
reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials. These airfoils contain pre-pregnated
woven carbon fiber sheets for superior strength and low weight. All CFRP
airfoils are made using pre-pregnated composite manufacturing processes (i.e.
high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagging) in high-quality aluminum billet
molds.
Supporting the airfoils are 10mm "aircraft grade" 6061 billet aluminum pedestals
that come in a flat black powder coat finish.
