DEVICES AND METHODS FOR REDUCING VEHICLE DRAG There is disclosed a mirror assembly for a vehicle, comprising: a housing (10) defining an aerodynamic shape, the housing (10) including a first curved wall (12), a second curved wall (14), a bottom portion (16), and a top portion (18), the first and second curved walls (12, 14) extending from the bottom portion (16) to the top portion (18) and intersecting one another to form a leading edge (40) of the housing (10), the first and second curved walls (12, 14) each extending from the leading edge (40) to an edge portion disposed adjacent to a reflecting surface of the mirror assembly, each of the first and second curved walls (12, 14) defining a continuously curved aerodynamic surface between the leading edge (40) and the corresponding edge portion, wherein the housing (10) is dimensionally configured so that a thrust force is generated in a travel direction of the vehicle when a crossflow from the vehicle is directed around the housing (10). |
