ABSTRACT:
A new aerodynamic design for an automobile is called the Forward Tilt Windshield. By positioning the car's windshield such that the angle between the windshield and hood is less than ninety degrees, the Forward Tilt Windshield will direct downward the air encountered by the car during forward travel. The air flow will then be directed into a open-ended channel, from the base of the windshield to the bottom of the car, by contouring the windshield such that its outer edges at the sides of the car are further forward than the middle of the windshield. This total design concept will reduce the "over-weighting" effect caused by conventional windshield and will improve the car's fuel efficiency.
