ABSTRACT:
The invention involves an attachment for bluff forward surface vehicles including a curved inner fairing adjacent one or more rectangular corners of the vehicle together with a spaced air foil member providing high lift characteristics and a convergent path between the members, both to reduce the air resistance and air flow separation from the top and sides of the vehicle, thus to reduce air drag and increase efficiency of operation. If the vehicle corners are more rounded, the inner fairing can be dispensed with and the air foil member merely attached to the vehicle corner in appropriate spaced relation.
