ABSTRACT:
The device includes fan devices associated with each wheel of the vehicle for creating respective auxiliary flows. Conveying devices, associated with the wheel housing, direct the auxiliary flows to a distributor provided with an outlet opening, so that the air flows from the distributors sweep along the bottom of the motor vehicle and exit in the area of the truncated tail portion of the vehicle body in order to create, at least partially, a so-called tailstream produced by a stationary ring vortex.
