An air scoop that is installed in certain type recreational vehicles, commercial buses, and commercial 5th wheel trailers for creating drag when activated. The basic construction is a rectangular box like structure having a slanted front with a controlled front panel. The controlled front panel, when activated, extends the forward edge thereof into the air stream passing by the vehicle while moving. This opening of the front of the retangular box like structure allows air to enter and the amount of air that enters depends on the amount of opening of the controlled panel and the speed of the vehicle. Air is guided into the unit allowing some of the air to escape through perforations in the back panel. The amount of drag created can be controlled by adjusting the front controlled panel opening amount. When the panel is closed the air scoop has no other function. If necessary, this invention is easily detached from the vehicle.
