    A spoiler is a type of an automotive aerodynamic device which is designed to spoil some unfavorable air across the vehicle when it is moving and also, usually called as the turbulence or drag. It is often used in cars that are used in racing and also for high performance sports cars as well. It is also used by some passenger cars as well and are also used for styling purposes only. Spoilers that can be found in front of a car are called air dams.

    Its operation varies upon the spoiling effect in particular. One of the most familiar function of this is to disrupt the airflow, moving and passing from around the car. For the common types of Porsche spoilers, it scatters the air by the increase amount of turbulence. For most racing cars, vehicle movement will be greatly affected by air movement because of its increasing speed. Spoilers in racing cars are a mixture of features in its body and chassis which is the reason for change of handling characteristics.

    Its purpose in passenger vehicles are for reduction of drag and for increase of fuel efficiency. Spoilers that are located in front which are also called as air dams can be found below the bumpers. The purposes of these dams is for reduction of air amount from the bottom and also for reduction of lift and drag coefficient. Usually, sports cars have front and back spoilers.

    There are a lot of material types on these, but the most commonly used are silicon, carbon fiber, ABS plastic, and fiberglass. An ABS plastic i being utilized for the impact of heat resistance, resistance, and toughness. The original items created by original producers cast ABS plastics which contain a mixture of granular fillers which it makes it more stiffer. A disadvantage on using this type is increasing the age of product due to evaporated volatile phenols.

    Second is fiberglass. A fiber glass is both stiff and strong in its tension and compression. These are commonly used since it contains lower cost materials. A fiber glass is infiltrated with a thermosetting resin such as epoxy. A fiber glass material can be durable and workable, but it became unprofitable due to large scale production which is caused by laboring.

    Another type is silicon. Silicon organic polymers are now mostly used by manufacturers for auto accessories. One main advantage of this is the phenomenal plasticity. It contains extra high thermal characteristics that provides the material a longer lifetime.

    And the last type is the carbon fiber. This type is lightweight. This also durable but can be very expensive. Because of the increased amount of its manual labor, currently, large productions cannot make use of carbon fiber for automobile parts.

    There are some other spoiler types that are commonly used. These are truck cab spoiler, truck bed spoiler, and front spoiler. Front spoilers are positioned underneath bumpers. This is to control dynamic handling in racing. Another purpose of this is for engine cooling for passenger vehicles.

    A truck bed spoiler placed on the top of truck bed rail located near the rear is used for reduction of air from the tailgates. The last type is truck cab spoiler. The purpose of this is like the truck bed, and they only differ in focusing drop off. This focuses from the truck cab.
