ABSTRACT:
An airflow deflector (5) guides the airflow (6) between a towing machine (1) and a transported unit (4, 32) adjoining the towing machine (1) in the travel direction (F) and is coupled with a setting system (7) for adjusting the orientation of the airflow deflector as needed. To ensure an optimal position of the airflow deflector at all times without human interference even when transported units of different external geometrical configurations are utilized, geometrical data (11) on the external geometry and/or positional data (12) are assigned to the transported unit (4, 32). This data, at least in case of a replacement of the transporting unit (4, 32) may be called up or read and forwarded to a control unit (21) that converts the geometrical and/or positional data into setting commands for the setting system (7) to adjust the airflow deflector (5).
