    BMW Working on Blow Aero for Better Cornering Performance

    BMW has been taking a close interest in active aerodynamic systems for high-performance bikes in recent months—filing an array of patent applications for ideas including moving winglets and even active exhausts that encourage airflow in the right direction to improve cornering. The company’s latest idea, however, goes a step further by using a ducted fan to blow high-pressure air in whatever direction is needed to improve downforce or cornering performance.

      A certain Can Am racing car had a similar idea (actually implemented, then banned) in 1970!
