ABSTRACT:
This disclosure pertains to an air deflector mounted on the roof of a towing vehicle to deflect upwardly a stream of air impinging on an inclined surface of the deflector thereby decreasing the drag of the towed vehicle. A pair of accordian side sheets prevent cross currents of air from acting on the lowermost surface of the inclined sheet and minimizes the vacuum pocket otherwise formed. Members for mounting the inclined surface to the roof of the vehicle and members to adjust the angle of inclination thereto are disclosed.
