TITLE TRAILER UNDERCARRIAGE FAIRINGS INVENTOR Bradley Paul MARTIN ABSTRACT An aerodynamic fairing for placement under the undercarriage of a tractor or a trailer or a straight truck as disclosed. The fairing is placed in front of the transverse axle that carries road running wheels and preferably in advance of each of such axles. The fairing assists in air diversion and in the streamlining of air passing by such axle. Air turbulence is reduced and the drag on the vehicle, tractor or trailer is also reduced. Greater fuel efficiency is achieved. Also, when the vehicle travels over wet roads or snow covered roads, the normally created air turbulance caused by the road wheels and the traverse axle, that collectively gather up the water or snow from the road ie. is lodged in the tire threads and then spun off into the air as a wake of accumulated water or snow, as the case might be, inhibits visibility to overcoming and oncoming traffic so significantly that in severe cases the visibility is nil. The fairings of the invention reduce the air turbulence and hence the extent of the wake and improve the visibility through whatever wake there is remaining to almost normal driving conditions (ie. as if there is no wetness or snow on the road).
