Can I Zaporozhets turned into a Formula 1 car? Hardly. Its engine will never give out 800 hp and 18000 rpm. But here's appearance. Spoilers in Nizhny Novgorod on the different places, and that's before us is not "Constipation", and Sauber. For one thing! For him to go the same way as Formula, all this must be weighed not only beautiful but also, more importantly, wind.

Until now, many car owners, setting in their cars different decorative elements do not think that any such introduction can be dangerous for car and driver. Unfortunately, the statistics for road accidents is not allocated a separate line of cases of accidents occurring due to incorrect splashes and other similar products. But if you ask any racing driver, he will say that all these bells and whistles should be at least safe, and best of all functional, ie, to carry the aerodynamic function. Should immediately be noted that for a person who prefers a calm, measured style of driving, traveling at speeds under the SDA, all these elements are, in principle, not necessary. Enough inherent aerodynamic characteristics of the manufacturer. But those moves off with 60 km / h and goes, as usual, far beyond the hundreds, such details are essential. However, I believe that all drivers would be interested to know what a thing and why it is needed. And since we are serious people, then start with the most important and responsible member of the external tuning - wing. Myself this item first appeared in America in a car Chevrolet Chaparral 2E 1966 It was a huge rear wing, based on high bar. But back in 1965 on the model Chaparral 2/2C rear spoiler wing is very reminiscent and even had a special department to change the angle of attack. And some of the preimages of the aerodynamic elements were tested before the Second World War.

Many firms go to various tricks. Up to the installation under the bottom of the special shaped panels. But cheaper and easier still to set the right front spoiler in Nizhny Novgorod. Once installed under the front bumper, it directs airflow upward, in hand, in the vents radiator and brakes. And if you achieve that under the bottom will create a vacuum, the car itself will "stick" to the road. This effect is also called ground-effect (the effect of land). But the effect is very tricky. If the vehicle stability will depend only on him, then at the slightest apart a car off the road quickly becomes unmanageable. Admittedly this concerns mainly the speed, racing cars. Another problem is the front spoiler - to increase the downforce on the front axle. This is particularly important that this fact has a direct impact on the car's handling at high speeds, and therefore to security. Very often skirt the front bumper is used to install fog lamps and more powerful, halogen and non-bulbs. In principle, they do not have a strong influence on air resistance, but it is advisable not to install them close to the sidewalls. Closer to the center they will be, the better it will be for aerodynamics. There is also a rear spoiler. This item has a similar impact on the rear axle, but the set or on the trunk lid or on the trailing edge of the roof. For some properly-designed rear spoiler can completely replace the wing. In addition to creating more downforce, this element is used for better air flow, shedding from the roof of the car. Sometimes, so it is also possible to reduce zagryaznyaemosti rear window, but usually used for this purpose various deflectors that direct the flow to the desired area body. It has already been said about the wheel arches. So, own niches, arches its frame, wheels and discs together are important in terms of aerodynamics on our scale of up to 20%. It affected everything: the width of the wheels to drive design, the size of the wheel arches to fit a niche. Sides car take on only about 10% of liability. In principle, they better not touch it or try not to make too big changes in the general contour sides. Such elements obveski as overlays on the side windows, door handles and the doors themselves, little influence on the aerodynamic drag does not have, but often do not justify his appointment.

The most "irresponsible" in terms of impact on the aerodynamics of the car is an element of the rear bumper. Here you can izgalyatsya somehow. The only thing he can influence, because it is the side. There is another interesting element - the lining on the hood. And if we talk about just decorative, they are more likely worsen the resistance, rather than vice versa. I want to mention the functional linings when the hood is cut. If the developer of this element knows where in the hood creates a zone of reduced pressure, then, cutting holes in the ground and set a special pad can be reduced by several percent termonagruzhennost, increase the intensity of the airflow through the radiator to improve engine cooling and even reduce the lift force . But to find such a place is only possible with the help of special investigations. Separately, it must be said about the "fly swatter" and deflectors. On the first generally say nothing. Their functions, they do not perform, but the hood can ruin not only aesthetically, but also realistic. According to many experts, this is absolutely stupid item.
