ABSTRACT:
There is provided an air flow controlling device comprising an elongated member adapted to engage an air stream impinging thereon, said member being characterized by having a fluted windward surface. The advantage of this device is that it increases the number of miles per gallon of fuel of a truck or trailer body equipped therewith. Moreover the structure appears to improve controlability of the vehicle in a destabilizing cross wind.
