ABSTRACT:
A series of adjacent flaps is hinge-mounted to the end of a high-speed train car. The actuatable flaps normally assume a fairing mode to close the gap between adjacent train cars and reduce aerodynamic drag. The flaps may be rotated to an inclined position so as to create drag braking when this becomes necessary.
