<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To optimize aerodynamic characteristics to enhance running stability without optimizing the shape of a vehicle, by controlling the surface airflow with an airflow generating device provided at the predetermined position on the surface of the vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: An automobile includes the airflow generating device 1 for generating airflow, applying voltage between a pair of electrodes 3, 4 provided as a pair near the surface of a dielectric material 2 in an area A on the surface of a vehicle body. If a bent portion of the vehicle body of the automobile has a curved surface and bends so as to configure a plane from both end edges of the curved surface, the area A is in a range of the length equivalent to 20% of the vehicle body length in the bending direction from the boundary between the curved surface and the plane, and is an area configured by a curved surface. If the bent portion of the vehicle body of the automobile bends without having a curved surface, the area A is configured in a range of the length equivalent to 20% of the vehicle body length in the bending direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
