ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods and media for reducing the aerodynamic drag of vehicles are disclosed. More particularly, a control system for a pressure drag reduction system for a vehicle is disclosed. Embodiments may include a machine-accessible medium containing instructions to receive input relating to a vehicle and to determine an improved pressure drag reduction system configuration based on the received input. Received input may include pressures, vehicle speed, user inputs, or other information. Embodiments may also include instructions to change the configuration of the pressure drag reduction system based on the determined improved configuration. In some embodiments, the operation of fans or ducts of the pressure drag reduction system may be controlled.
