ABSTRACT:
An optimized aerodynamic drag reducing geometry for land-based vehicles incorporates a system of connected surfaces that utilizes square to round surface transitional design concepts to manage the flow stream around the rear or aft section of a land-based vehicle such as a semi-tractor trailer. The drag reduction is maximized primarily by reducing the total pressure drag on the vehicle.
