An aerodynamics control system for a vehicle may include an aerodynamic element operably coupled to a vehicle body, an actuator assembly operably coupled to the aerodynamic element to control positioning of the aerodynamic element, an altitude sensor operably coupled to the vehicle to determine an altitude of the vehicle, and a controller operably coupled to the actuator and the altitude sensor to provide automatic control of the aerodynamic element via the actuator based on the altitude of the vehicle.
