What is this type of spoiler called in general doe?

[@1allen704]

Do You have these for a 1979 mustang ?

[@dylonallgood]

how much length of deck for a 1000 horse power, shooting for 8.5 sec 1/4 mile car 71 nova, maybe 165 mph? great vid consider me educated

[@HISS2004]

Tim does a drag style flat wing like that provide any merit on a truck with an open bed?

[@HISS2004]

+Christopher Morales yea I get that. What I was asking Tim McAmis was not if I should cover the bed but if there is any benefit to adding a flat drag style spoiler to a tailgate without the bed covered.

[@HISS2004]

+Christopher Morales I don't think you understand, I need the bed open to put shit in when I go to cruise ins, etc. I get covering the bed and how it affects aero, I'm asking the man who posted the video if it's beneficial to add a flat spoiler or drag wing to the tailgate, or if it's simply for aesthetics on a truck without a solid bed cover.

[@slowpoke96Z28]

+War Machine it'd simply be for looks.

[@JC-11111]

+slowpoke96z28 no it wouldn't. There's plenty of race trucks that have rear wings and no bed cover. Rear spoilers ARE NOT dependent on a bed cover to work properly. They work whether its mounted to an open bed or covered. Doesn't matter.

[@slowpoke96Z28]

+blazer6248 examples? cause it seems to me the spoiler would stall. the physics doesn't add up.

[@ChuckSalerno90]

thats a huge deck

[@rickyjohnson974]

So it would be ideal to make the wicker bill adjustable then 🤷

[@cg7life357]

I'm thinking the same for my 96 Corolla

[@ChargedTTq]

Why are you calling it a wickerbill when it's more accurately a gurney flap? 🤔
(At least at that height)

[@a.bax.5992]

Why do front wheel drive cars have these again?

[@cg7life357]

Downforce

[@morefaster8169]

You still want stability at the rear of the car even if it’s FWD, same reason as to why you see a lot of serious RWD drag cars with a front splitter/lip of some sort

[@domdegood5376]

The edge at the back is like a parachute.

[@lotuselansteve]

I suggest that you take the time to look how aero and, in particular, wicker bills/Gurneys work.

[@rickyjohnson974]

That's where the down force comes from didn't watch it all did ya 🤦

[@jodyjohnstein]

That's not how that works

[@lotuselansteve]

Air can't flow under this, so it isn't a wing!

[@dennishensley1150]

The only way you can call it a wing or Wang it has to be able to FLAP!

[@cg7life357]

So then what is it cause

[@lotuselansteve]

@@cg7life357 A spoiler.
