An apparatus is provided for reducing aerodynamic drag experienced by an over-the-road vehicle while underway. A frame assembly including a fastening fixture couples the apparatus to the vehicle, and a first airfoil including a first outward air deflecting surface deflects a portion of the airflow directed toward a first tire laterally outward toward an externally exposed side of the first tire. A second airfoil including a second outward air deflecting surface deflects a portion of the airflow directed toward a second tire laterally outward toward an externally exposed side of the second tire. The first and second airfoils are spaced laterally apart from each other when coupled to the vehicle by the frame assembly to define an aperture between the first and second airfoils through which at least a portion of the airflow directed toward the axle assembly is to pass while the vehicle is underway.

Appareil permettant de réduire la trainée aérodynamique des véhicules de transport routier. Un bâti comprenant un organe d'assemblage permet de fixer l'appareil au véhicule, et un premier aileron comprenant une première surface de déflexion de l'air vers l'extérieur détourne une partie du flux d'air dirigé vers un premier pneu vers le côté extérieur, c'est-à-dire du côté exposé à l'extérieur du premier pneu. Un deuxième aileron comprenant une deuxième surface de déflexion de l'air vers l'extérieur détourne une partie du flux d'air dirigé vers un deuxième pneu vers le côté extérieur, c'est-à-dire du côté exposé à l'extérieur du deuxième pneu. On espace les côtés du premier aileron et du deuxième aileron quand on les fixe au véhicule par le bâti pour créer une ouverture entre ceux-ci. Une partie du flux d'air qui se dirige vers les essieux doit traverser cette ouverture quand le véhicule circule.
