Where is the fender of the car located?

[McEva]

The fender of the car is located between the door, hood, and bumper, above the tire. The fender, also known as the wing panel, gets its name from the shape and position of this component on older vehicle bodies, resembling a bird's wing. It is a type of cover part found on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, categorized into front fenders and rear fenders based on installation position. Functions of the fender: 1. Utilizing fluid dynamics to reduce the drag coefficient, making the car run more smoothly; 2. Preventing sand, stones, and mud splashed up by the wheels from reaching the bottom of the car during driving. Design principle of the fender: Because the front wheels have a steering function, it is necessary to ensure the maximum space required for the rotation of the front wheels. Therefore, designers use wheel travel diagrams based on the selected tire model and size to verify the design dimensions of the fender. The rear fender does not have the issue of wheel rotation interference, but for aerodynamic considerations, the rear fender is slightly arched and bulges outward.
