  • Aerodynamic front closing cross-member for road vehicle
    Patent number: 12017523
    Abstract: A front closing cross-member includes a medial portion having an airfoil-like shape arranged between left and right end portions of greater height than the medial portion. The medial portion includes a trailing edge having a height less than a height of a leading edge thereof. The end portions are configured to be mounted to at least a portion of a chassis frame of a road vehicle. The cross-member may exhibit the same or greater stiffness and torsional rigidity as a conventional member, while exhibiting reduced drag and facilitating formation of a laminar airflow wake.
