Question

What are ‘Air Dams’?

(a) Spoilers at the front of a vehicle

(b) Spoilers at the rear of a vehicle

(c) Spoilers at the sides of a vehicle

(d) Spoilers at the top of a vehicle

This question was addressed to me during an online exam.

Origin of the question is Parts of an Automobile in section Introduction of Automobile Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Spoilers at the front of a vehicle

The best I can explain: Spoilers at the front of a vehicle are known as Air Dams. Air dams are used to increase the downforce of the vehicle. These dams oppose the force which tries to uplift the vehicle.
