ABSTRACT:
A windbreaker air drag reduction system for trailers and other box-like towed vehicles having a blunt-nosed forward face. The system comprises a wedge-shaped fairing element including a pair of upstanding panel members adjoining one another and being secured to an upstanding riser. The panel members and riser are attached to a crossbar member which is securely clamped to the trailer tongue support beams. The panel members are secured to the upper and lower face of forward face of the trailer at their respective outward edges. The combined components of the fairing element cooperate to form a triangular arrangement, the apex of the triangle being located forwardly of the blunt-nosed forward face of the vehicle. The entire system may be attached, detached, and reattached to multiple trailers or towed vehicles by means of simple tools and assembly and ease of use by only one operator.
