Abstract:
1. A device for reducing vehicle aerodynamic resistance disposed on a flat front face of the vehicle, the device comprising: a plurality of parallel members fastened to the flat front face so as to extend between opposite sides thereof; a plurality of load bearing struts of a predetermined size attached to the parallel members; a pair of opposing sheets of flat pliable material each having an outside edge portion attached to the parallel members adjacent the opposite sides of the flat face, an inside edge portion attached to adjacent struts and a predetermined curved upper edge; a single top sheet of flat pliable material having an outside edge portion disposed generally parallel to and adjacent the top of the flat front face, an inside edge portion attached to adjacent struts and predetermined curved side edges; Whereby the opposing sheets and top sheet bend and mate the curved upper edges of the opposing sheets to the curved side edges of the top sheet to form curved airfoil shapes to reduce the aerodynamic resistance of the vehicle when moving.
