He once owned 50% of Microsoft and is directly related to Elvis Presley !

the results are top secret so dont tell anyone !
Ohhh ... I see , you mean that wing, right ???

Anyway, here is the latest .... Boeing, Airbus, and Mugen Seiki are developing new rear wing to increase downward airflow while reducing thermal wind flow signature. Hopefully the new design will increase top speed & downforce at the same time. It is known the Delta Phi Sigma of the angle of attack of the wing will transalate into fuel ecnomy as well. Such hybrid design will be nominated for 2008 noble prize in aeronautical technology.
