DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPOILER AND WING? 😳

[@Yuhcars]

There are many differences between a spoiler and a wing. So fellow car experts, please feel free to share below! 🏎️💨

[@HammersDown]

What about plane’s Spoilers and flaps

[@Creeperhasahampter1]

Hello I'm Persian the last car was a saipa nasim aka ford festiva😂

[@shaggmire8956]

​@HammersDown If I'm not mistaken spoilers on planes are used to slow the aircraft, and the flaps are used to increase lift of the plane by extending the surface of the wings, but this also slows the plane slightly due to more drag. The flaps are used when taking off and landing and must be retracted before approaching higher speeds.

[@caleblarsen5490]

A spoiler on the wing of an airplane is on top and spoils the lift of the wing. A flap changes the aspect ratio of the wing, creating more lift. They help in the slow speed regimes of takeoff and landing. ​@HammersDown

[@andrewtang2602]

Top Gear: if your head fits underneath it, it's a wing.

[@aryansharma1817]

Top comment for me🏆

[@XbotulinumX]

Pedestal spoiler: 😔

[@LonerChief]

Perfect reference.

[@realemperorkuzco]

I'm sure Hammond's head could fit under a spoiler.

[@BobbyRock-ko4sr]

I was just about to comment this. Best way to put it

[@coolbeardeddragon1157]

wings are spoilers, spoilers aren't always wings edit: 1st: wow this got popular, 2nd:Stop fighting, 3rd: if wings disrupt air flow, (from what I know) they are spoilers.

[@Byte_frst7]

Well in my understanding a spoiler affects the air flowing through the body, while a wing affects the air flowing through itself. A wing works exactly like airplane wings where they create a force to push the car down opposite to what wings on a plane do while spoiler is just a part of the body or fuselage in plane terms which improves aerodynamics.

[@Tirenu]

An actual explaination thank you!

[@nichithcn7119]

Basically, the spoiler improves airflow​continuity and lengthens seperationfrom vehicle thus reducing turbulenceand inturn drag@@Byte_frst7

[@eltrocp9256]

Exactly

[@RIPToot]

​@@TirenuThis isn't even true. Spoilers create turbulence which reduces drag, and actually affects the air above even the back of the car. The wing is a litterally whing which creates life the same way an airplane wing does. It's just upside-down so that it creates a downward force.

[@Aulus_Save]

In conclusion Wings are the big bois

[@ezioauditore9610]

He gave the most complicated def of spoilers possible

[@CorneliusArne-rs2sf]

No duh thats what the video is abt

[@Flash42233]

Basically in simplified terms the spoiler on a car allows it to be more stabilized when going high speeds. It also makes it so your car doesnt a fucking helicopter at high speeds.

[@Lil_Kerch]

idk it wasn’t rly that complicated i understood j fine

[@NeCoruption]

​@@CorneliusArne-rs2sf Buddy, the video was supposed to explain how one object is NOT the other, whole they explained how one object is quite literally the other.

[@calebmartin2655]

Imagine those drag cars without a wing💀💀💀🛫☄

[@yeetygonzalez5843]

They'd probably just spin and the rear would be very loose and wouldn't get up to speed

[@ryon5174]

Worst case scenario the car ends up on its roog

[@User101-o1k]

Ah yes, especially GTR's and Supras don't wanted a wing/spoiler. because they want to wheelie on a drag strip.

[@scoobsshrooms109]

@@yeetygonzalez5843no but they would be unstable at speed. Most Nhra don’t use wings just top fuel NHRA

[@g-forceguy]

Is that the Phoenix suns logo lol

[@husleepy9859]

spoilers also usually go along with the body lines of the car.

[@JTC33]

That means the first gen NSX has a spoiler. 😁

[@TheWaffle654]

I've always understood that all wings are spoilers, but not all spoilers are wings. A wing is a spoiler what's principle purpose is downforce generation, whereas a spoiler refers to any large element which manages airflow, particularly to eliminate turbulant flow around the sides and off the back of the car.

[@elemental_gaming]

A wing generates lift, a spoiler spoils the airflow over the wings which allows the plane to slow down faster. Spoilers are also called speed brakes. Spoilers are installed on the wings and can also be used when rolling left or right.

[@lordofducks3430]

We’re talking about cars, not planes. Same idea though

[@elemental_gaming]

@@lordofducks3430 I know, I put this as a joke

[@onewanderingbee]

Worth noting that downforce becomes exponentially more important the faster you're going. If you put a wing on your daily trying to rice out something you won't be taking turns over 30 mph in you're just creating drag for no reason.

[@HuracanST]

And making your gas mileage slightly worse. Drag reduces fuel efficiency

[@tantainguyen4290]

​@@HuracanSTbut increase coolness by 20%

[@henriekids876]

The Porsche downshifting was so clean

[@marrowdreign]

They both create (redirect) Air vortices to induce low pressure areas where slow (dragging) air changes velocity and escapes cleanly, reducing pressure waves that have built up in the path of the incoming airflow. The difference is where the pressure drop is occurring in relation to the vehicle.

[@tntgaming42069]

In aircraft, spoilers slow down the plane and can supply additional roll control and are on the wing, which lifts up the plane

[@dtar380]

And for high acceleration a wing is better too, because more grip turns into more force passed from wheel to ground and therefore more acceleration, unless your wing is too big and then it gets countered by the excessive drag

[@unstabledesire2289]

A wing for drifting, a spoiler for heist getaway

[@captain.gaming2482]

Wings are connected directly to the chasis but spoilers are just installed on the trunk

[@kaiwilliams12]

They're both used to minimise lift and in-turn increase drag. Depending on how much lift your car experiences particularly on the rear end will determine whether a spoiler is sufficient or whether you need a wing. That is why most street-drag cars are wing-less as they want as minimal drag as possible, whereas top-fuel dragsters sacrifice that increase in drag because if they didn't have the big wing, they'd struggle to put the power down and struggle even more to keep it going in a straight line down the drag strip

[@richardike2342]

That's why active-aero was invented.

[@doubbleUinC]

Every wing is a spoiler. Not every spoiler is a wing (for exaple a duck tail spoiler) A wing generates more downforce which makes your car more grippy A spoiler does the same but with aerodynamics. Wing generates grip through air pushing against it and the wing pushing the wheels down to the road. Spoiler changes the aerodynamics of the car also giving you more grip but... Wing is better for fast driving around corners and high speeds... spoilers help you get much higher top end speed and acceleration but it easily loses grip in corners on high speeds

[@clips-s5j]

Explained in 60 seconds when it could be explained in 5

[@spiritwatcher8880]

"If you want good cornering use a wing" (shows a straight line drag race with the biggest wing I've ever seen) 😢

[@theresaapocalypse5893]

Wings generate only up to 10% of their downforce from redirecting wind. The vast majority of it is by vacuuming the car down because of a small pressure differential that they cause

[@peterf.4268]

Wings actually do not push the car down (a larger spoiler, however, can). A wing creates a negative pressure zone under the wing by forcing air over itself & the negative pressure actually creates the dowforce by "sucking" the car down.

[@bernardolozano7429]

nah chief

[@sabyasacheebanik6018]

How about combinations of both?

[@abu.nahiyan]

spoilers don't reduce turbulence, they introduce turbulence so that the airflow loses contact with the car

[@Noah-t7q7n]

Spoiler: i have more style 😎 Wing: i create more downforce 😃 Active aero: amateurs!😈

[@brunogehm3839]

Spoiler? Is something that some peoples tell about an history

[@ilovepotstickers]

So if I put a spoiler on a wing, I will have the best of both worlds!

[@pengpeng3327]

I always thought those spoilers are just things to make cars look good.

[@MRWX]

Not me thinking it was all for the looks 😂

[@WarrenLott-w1w]

Now tell me what a countach wing does

[@weedconesuer]

Recent studies have actually shown unless you have a wing that can self adjust during turns, certain speeds etc most of the downforce is just from the weight of the wing on your vehicle 😅

[@Racing_Fox]

That’s not true

[@overcookedlulu]

Wow I’m actually getting some useful shorts and not cringey videos or “part 2” videos

[@6-1-98]

Good joke

Spoiler is subtle and piece of linings on the trunk and subtle Wing piece of plate lifted by 2 black supports.

[@алена_к-поп]

As everyone here already said all wings are spoilers but not all spoilers are wings. I also wanna add that what author calls a spoilers is actually a ducktail spoiler, one of many kinds of spoilers. (Spoiler, spoilers, spoilers, spoiler)

[@WhiteNoises.]

Thats why a lot Japanese drift cars don't use either.

[@user-nc5hb6cz4r]

Me before watching: My understandings that a wing (heard of GT Wing Spoiler) was a type or category or spoilers

[@FrizzRizz]

If you Need It. If you have a Golf don't worry you're good

[@TheRedFortune]

I thought they were for looks

[@PearlRush09]

The wing only works if your going hella fast

[@AB365_Official]

This is gonna sound stupid but here's my general rule. If it is directly connected to the body, but the crossbeam is separate, it's a spoiler. If the spoiler is bolted on, part of an AA system, or achieves a prominence taller than that of the car itself, it's a wing. If it's part of the body but doesn't disconnect like either, it's a lip. If the lip is bolted on, or considered separate from the body, it's a bill or a fin. Of course there are exceptions, but this is what I've noticed.

[@xd5909]

Spoiler creates better aerodynamic. Wing creates downforce. Their design can be difference depending on the cars and the designer.

Thank you. I've been wanting to know the difference in case.

[@YANKEETHOMAS13]

Spoilers are made to fit the car’s body line where as wings do whatever they want

[@User101-o1k]

The main difference between a wing and a spoiler in an automobile. In spoilers is to redirect airflow, acts as a barrier that disrupts localized airflow to reduce airspeed and lift. Meanwhile a wing also known as an "automotive airfoil", deflects airflow upward to generate negative lift

[@claasgerkens6312]

spoilers also create downforce depending on how theyre built

[@mierenmans881]

same way that wings may reduce drag depending on how they're built.

[@danijelgasparic3658]

​@@mierenmans881I've seen many spoilers that reduce drag buy I've yet to see a wing that does the same, could you give some examples ?

Tuning smaller cars also is better to leave a front bumper lip to let air below the vehicle to lower wheight

[@awesomebears]

Yes yes, but we all know the true reasons for spoilers, its that they look absolutely sick 😎

[@Henry.25]

wing is for down force. Spoiler is for aerodynamic. That's the major and basically only difference. Except that a wing can also be used to increase aerodynamics and a spoiler can also be used to generate down force. That's why there are electronically controlled wings, example: DRS

[@Mirunan_]

[@rollinthunder8671]

They both create down force, the spoiler creates more drag, the wing makes the car fly when it gets turned backwards.

[@prowlerpunk]

thank you for the content

[@Unusual.Incidents_Unit]

Wings - Makes lift, so the plane can fly. Spoilers - Are to slow down the airplane by making a bigger area for the air to hit.

Quick question: Is a wing usefull on a fwd car?

[@yongling9825]

If you're going fast enough, yes. Downforce aids any car in corners that need to be taken at speed, regardless of drivetrain type. Take a look at some FWD cars in GRIDLIFE, GLTC or any of their Time Attack classes.
