ABSTRACT:
A fairing for mounting atop the cab of a motor vehicle such as a tractor unit of a tractor-trailer truck includes feet for supporting an aerodynamically-shaped, thin-walled hollow front member and a rear panel which substantially closes the rear side of the fairing to reduce the lifting effects of turbulent air flow. The fairing includes feet and legs which support the fairing spaced above the vehicle cab to provide visibility for cab top-mounted clearance lights. The fairing may be manufactured of fiberglass reinforced resin sheet material, with the rear panel providing sufficient support for the front member despite hollow thin-walled construction.
