front wings
Anterior flight surfaces
Front wings are the forward pair of wings on a four-winged insect, typically larger and sometimes modified for protection rather than flight, as with beetles' hardened forewings.
In motorsport, particularly Formula 1, front wings are aerodynamic devices mounted at the front of race cars to generate downforce: The front wing was damaged in the first-lap collision.
