Abstract:
1. An aerodynamic airfoil system for a trailer, comprising: an airflow modifier assembly being mountable to an underside of a trailer and having spaced apart upper and lower airfoil members each having first and second ends, said upper and lower airfoil members joined together adjacent said first ends by a first outer rib member and joined together adjacent said second ends by a second outer rib member, said first and second outer rib members being angled to direct an airflow toward a central area of said airflow modifier; and first and second front end airflow panels that are attachable adjacent to front left and right sides of a trailer, respectively, and having a shape that directs airflow toward said airflow modifier assembly, when attached to opposing front sides of a trailer; first and second rear end airflow panels that are attachable adjacent to rear left and right sides of a trailer, respectively, and adjacent said airflow modifier assembly, and each having a shape that inhibits airflow from exiting from beneath a trailer adjacent said airflow modifier assembly, when attached to opposing rear sides of a trailer.
