Abstract: In this study, we will be performing structural analysis on the motorcycle winglet. The type of winglet used in this analysis is a square winglet from Aprilia RSV4 RF. The flap inside the winglet will be a NACA 6412 airfoil which will be placed upside down to generate downforce. It is very complicated to get results from the winglet. the analysis will be carried out on an active winglet. we will be considering 5 scenarios in Computational fluid dynamics, and 4 in the static, and 6 in vibration analysis. The CFD analysis will be done to obtain the force which later will be applied in the static analysis and vibration analysis to check the vibration frequency at different modes. The material used for the wing and for the body of the motorcycle will be carbon fiber reinforced polymer. As we will be changing the angle of the flap which is present in the winglet it necessary to check whether the CFD results are practical example the forces, coefficient of drag, etc. to prove that the design works. The FEA will help us prove that the design is safe. The model is designed in the Onshape which is a CAD modeling tool and the analysis will be done on the Simscale. Keywords: Winglet, FEA, vibration, airfoil, harmonic
