"Wings" are a pretty synonymous term for spoilers but basically they keep the rear-end of the car down during high speed situations. Splitters is a type of spoiler (I believe) found on the front of car and keep the front of the car from lifting right up from the ground under high speeds. Also, if a car has a rear diffuser, that keeps the rear of the car from lifting up from the air that comes up from underneath (the rear wing keeps the rear of the car down by using the air flow from the top of the vehicle).

aaaa CHOOO!!

I'm sorry, I'm allergic to bullsh*t.

Every other post you make has "clueless" in it, you over emphasise your lack of knowledge, you know nothing of aerodynamics and yet you're an aviation student, and your profile is a picture of two chicks on a beach who could be anyone.

I don't trust you, and neither should the other members.


EDIT: And neither does Ghalos. Yay for you.

Damn. And you don't have a clue on how a wing works? Have you gotten kicked out yet?

If you're an aviation student then you should have some understanding of aerodynamics which would help you to figure out how a wing works. So you're either lying or you're a really, REALLY bad student.

Edit: Zeyk, as always a beautiful avatar.

If she can't figure out how a wing works, how is she going to figure out how to pilot a plane?


But, it can happen. That's why I like to drive to places. It's more fun and nobody is going to hijack my car.
