AERODYNAMIC CONTROL DEVICE OF A MOBILE BODY

摘要

There is provided an aerodynamic control device of a vehicle or other mobile body for stabilizing its behavior against a side wind disturbance during its running. The inventive device comprises a displaceable shielding member extending downwardly from a lower end edge between a front wheel and a rear wheel on each side of a body of a mobile body to cover a space below the lower end edge and prevent an air flow from entering into the space under the body and a controller which controls an shielding area of the shielding member covering the space below the lower end edges by moving the shielding member based on the direction of an air flow which the mobile body receives.

主权项

1. An aerodynamic control device of a mobile body, comprising:
a displaceable shielding member extending downwardly from a lower end edge between a front wheel and a rear wheel in each of opposite sides of a body of a mobile body to cover a space below the lower end edge of the body and prevent an air flow from entering into the space under the body; and; a controller which control an shielding area of the shielding member covering the space below the lower end edge of the body by moving a position of the shielding member, the controller controlling the shielding area of the shielding member based on a direction of an air flow which the mobile body receives.
