Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a wheel air dam for a motor vehicle.
Such air dams are generally known on motor vehicles. They are generally installed in front of vehicle wheels in the forward driving direction in order to divert oncoming airflow away from the rotating wheels.
Airflow impacting rotating tires, in particular rotating front tires, on vehicles does not just increase the vehicle drag, which can also be verified by measurements of the particular Cv value, but also results in undesired noise production.
Wheel air dams therefore serve not only to increase the drag of a vehicle, or to reduce the deterioration of its drag at increasing driving speeds, but can also affect the noise emission of a vehicle.
