Abstract
The spoilers are mostly used in the high speed cars to reduce the drag and lift forces occurred due to the air around the vehicles. The addition of the spoilers in the vehicle body results into decrease in the unwanted forces and wakes formation around the vehicle. The overall performance of the vehicle can be improved with the use of spoilers. The spoilers help to reduce the drag and the lift forces in cars. The reduction in the drag coefficient results in increase in the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Whereas, decrease in the lift coefficient results into the better stability of the vehicle on the road. The lift and drag are the most important parameters that are taken care during the design of the vehicles. The aerodynamics characteristics of the vehicle are improved by using the spoilers. In present study, the detailed literature review is carried out on the basis of previously reported literature on aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle.
