ABSTRACT:
The conditioning of cross winds by providing up to four separate groups of segmented panels being the main segmented panels of the segmented air deflector, opposing segmented side pivotal panels, opposing segmented upper side pivotal panels and opposing segmented lower side pivotal panels. Various implementations of application of these groups provide versatility for varying conditions and vehicle configurations. A method of measuring for cross wind conditions and selective engaging the various deployed segmented panels is disclosed. The use of wing members either fixed or variably mounted on or about the various panels to condition, and therefore better control wind flow, is taught.
