If we could inject smoke at the backlight I think we'd see the vortex.(cars with roof only of course). |
So essentially it's using a vortex on the rear window and trunk area to guide the upper air over it cleanly, while creating downforce. Kind of like a virtual Kammback, if you will. How does this effect help the attachment of airflow?
Is there a practical difference between those Nascar type spoilers (Barracuda) and the flat ones (Monza)?
