This article presents the development of aerodynamic elements for a Baja SAE type competition vehicle. The Baja SAE competition involves Universities from all regions of Brazil and those events are already traditional and involve a large number of students from various Engineering areas. In general, students' projects focus on essential elements in cars such as traction, suspension, brakes, but it has been observed that aerodynamics have not aroused the interest of the teams. In order to contribute to the aerodynamic of those vehicles, this article addresses the main points of the application of aerodynamic elements in a typical Baja SAE prototype. It is expected that this article can arise the interest of students about this field and provide a method to increase the performance of this class of vehicles.References
