If you take a close look at modern cars, you will notice that some of them have not only a rear mudguard, but also a front one. At the same time, it looks very strange, even suspicious, has a small size and, as a rule, does not at all look like those that are attached to the back. As is very often the case in the automotive business, this device is not at all what ignorant citizens think about.
Cars are constantly evolving. Engineering thought does not stand still. This concerns not only such "global" things as the creation of electric cars or driver assistants, but also the little things that make driving more comfortable and safer. The most interesting thing is that it is still difficult to say which of the innovations is really more beneficial in the short term for most of the world's motorists. One of these innovations can be safely considered a "front mudguard", which is actually not a mudguard at all. This thing is called aerodynamic shield.
As you might have guessed from the name, the functions of the shield are not at all the same as those of the mudguard. Its main task is to increase the stability and stability of the vehicle. Many will ask: how can such a tiny thing have such an impact on a large and heavy car? Really very simple.
First, the air deflector minimizes aquaplaning by reducing air mass rejection when driving on wet roads. The accessory creates a stream of air directed towards the road, literally blowing off part of the water at the point of contact between the asphalt and the wheel. Thus, the risks associated with aquaplaning of the vehicle are reduced.

Secondly, the air deflector reduces the lift force of the oncoming air flow. The bottom line is that at high speeds, air is forced under the car, as a result of which the front of the car rises. The wheel arches turn into a real air scoop. It may be dangerous. Previously, this problem was solved with the "gills" on the front fenders. Today, to solve the problem with air, it is enough to put a shield.

By the way, the aerodynamic flaps on the arches perform the same functions as the aerodynamic wing. At the same time, they look much nicer, take up less space, cost less and are much easier to install.
