  • Publication number: 20220041227
    Abstract: An aerodynamic device for attachment to a trailer of a tractor-trailer having a centerline, a trailer sidewall and a trailer door. The aerodynamic device comprises an airfoil and a flexible mounting system. The airfoil comprises a leading edge, a trailing edge, an inner surface, and an outer surface. The flexible mounting system comprises a door hinge, a mounting bracket, a trailer hinge and a door strap. The door hinge is coupled to the trailer door. The mounting bracket is coupled to the inner surface of the airfoil. The trailer hinge is coupled to the mounting bracket and the trailer sidewall. The door strap coupled to the door hinge at a first end and the mounting bracket at a second end.

  • Patent number: 9708017
    Abstract: An apparatus for the improvement of the aerodynamic properties of a primary vehicle or the aerodynamic properties of a secondary vehicle, such as a trailer, towed by a primary vehicle. Certain embodiments of the invention include an apparatus and a system typically mounted to a rear-ward portion of a semi-trailer for aerodynamic improvement. Certain embodiments of the invention include an airfoil and a stabilizer interconnected by a series of stiffeners spanning between them creating apertures for interaction with air-flow surrounding the trailing edge of a vehicle.
