ABSTRACT:
An aerodynamic drag-reducing shield for mounting on the front of a trailer or truck box, has a front surface contour defined by a series of semi-ellipses, the minor axes of the ellipses tapering off towards the upper rear edge of the shield at such rate that in profile the shield has a part-elliptical leading edge.
