Intake apparatus of engine for vehicle

摘要

An intake apparatus is provided for an engine of a vehicle. The intake apparatus can introduce fresh air under the vehicle's large running wind pressure. The intake apparatus also allows the opening area and profile of an air inlet to be selected freely. The intake apparatus includes a pair of intake ducts 13 for introducing the air into the engine and an air-introducing duct 15 connected to respective upstream ends of the intake ducts 13 to provide the air inlet 14. The air-introducing duct 15 is formed independently of a cowling 16 fitted to a front of the vehicle. The air-introducing duct 15 has its leading end 15a positioned ahead of a leading end 16a of the cowling 16.
