Abstract
Over past few decades automotive industry focuses on aerodynamic characteristics of spoiler. Through this they succeeded running life of all the parts which has been integrated with the automobiles. On this we had designed a rear spoiler in a car that reduces the running distance after applying the break. Keeping in this mind, the present investigation is focused on the study of angular orientation of spoiler in order to reduce the stopping distance using Computer aided Engineering approach. The modeling software CATIA 5.0 is used to model the spoiler for different orientations and ANSYS 12.0 was for dynamic analysis in this current investigation.
