Aerodynamic kit


Aerodynamic kit

To improve the aerodynamics of the car used aerodynamic body kit.
Advanced motorists (usually street racers) to give your car an aggressive (original) type use an external tuning of the plan. This is a good way to not only stand out in a series of identical cars, but also express themselves through their favorite.

And what exactly is the aerodynamic car? It turns out when the vehicle is moving at a speed of 140-150 km / h and up behind him like the tail stretches "turbulent zone (random eddies of air masses). The flow around a car during a traffic occurs on three sides from the top and sides. And the bottom (in the bottom throughout the car) air flows with vorticity are formed in a collision with protruding parts of the car. There is formation of excess air pressure under the bottom and in the compartment where the motor vehicle is. This pressure raises the machine is reduced clamping force, which naturally reduces the degree of traction, resulting in a sharp drop handling.

Aerodynamic tuning made from various kinds of plastic, because excess weight reduces the car's handling. The technical solutions of this kind include:
Spoilers;
Splashes;
Shaped bottom panel (usually applicable to high-speed sports cars). Due to this innovation inhibition air masses of protruding units and units of the car is completely eliminated.
Shaped front and rear bumpers.


Literate installation in conjunction with the correct application create additional downforce for your car at such a significant speed. If improperly installed, even super good aerodynamic weight can not only reduce the lift force, but by overloading and unloading one another axis, drastically reduces the car's handling at lower speeds.


Front spoiler.

Located under the front bumper (the designers of automobiles and auto designers the look of a tendency toward such combination). Its function is to "raise" the air, that is, direct the air upward. Sometimes the spoiler is constructed so that air does not just rise up and sent to the vents brake discs or radiator. This effect (the car, reducing the pressure sucks air into the vents) in the world racers call "stuck to the road surface." The machine is significantly improved in obedience to the government. But there is a significant minus. If the car even slightly throw up, possible loss of controllability and other unexpected troubles. Racers is a negative point called Ground-effekt (effect of land);


Wing.

Function opposite planes carrying aircraft. But the car does not have to take off for the car is set clamping force. Turning the airborne wing, got a plane to sprays the car to the road that much and a very tangible impact on the drivability, significantly improve it.
There are splashes "working" a little differently. The front edge of the wing is directed downward into the flow of air at a certain angle. Downforce increases considerably, even in comparison with the effect of conventional wing, but the drop is equivalent to this increased risk of an accident due to complete loss of control. This can overload a single axis and over-discharging the other (miscalculated the angle of wing to the ground).


Spoiler rear trunk lid or roof.

Function "to break" the flow of air, which helps avoid the formation of turbulence behind the car, smooth closing the air corridor. Reducing air turbulence behind the car reduces drag.


Rear bumper.

There is a piece completes the overall picture of the struggle with the formation of the lift force acting on the car. The minimum contribution, as a separate element in the increase of the aerodynamic characteristics of the car.

There are plenty of minor elements on the degree of influence on the overall aerodynamic vehicle, such as:
• Deflection;
• half-open hatch;
• Open the window;
• The type of rear-view mirrors;
• Additional lighting equipment on the roof of the car, especially if this SUV.
Their influence is very small, but still present.
By the way, improving the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle using an aerodynamic body kit begins to be felt only after a 120 km / h, even more noticeable at the speed of 140-160 km / h. This suggests that the functionality of such tuning will be only on the highways, but not in the quiet city roads.
