Patent ID: 7517004

Claim:
An air deflecting system for an automobile having a center of gravity that is adapted to turn in a turn direction, the air deflecting system comprising: a first sideforce controlling wing extending from the automobile, wherein the first sideforce controlling wing defines a cross-section shaped as an airfoil and is structured to generate aerodynamic forces having a first sideforce component when the automobile is generally aligned with an impinging airflow and a second sideforce component that is greater than the first sideforce component when the automobile is yawed in the turn direction relative to the impinging airflow, wherein the air deflecting system applies a non-zero first yawing moment to the automobile when the automobile is generally aligned with the impinging airflow and a non-zero second yawing moment to the automobile that is greater than the first yawing moment when the automobile is yawed in the turn direction relative to the impinging airflow.
