Embodiment Construction

[0027] Identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals in all figures.

[0028] according to figure 1 The vehicle 1 has a rounded shape overall and in particular in its rear region 8 . Flow-influencing elements 5 (for example spoilers) with flow-separating edges 10 are arranged in the left and right side rear regions 2 in the region in front of the taillights 3 .

[0029] For this purpose, a recess 4 is arranged in the lateral end region 2 on each side, in which recess 4 the flow influencing element 5 can slide.

[0030] The flow influencing element 5 is configured as a fin which can slide parallel to the direction of the vehicle skin indicated by the arrow 9 . A slot 6 is provided in each case for receiving the flow influencing element 5 . The flow-influencing element 5 accommodated in the slot 6 is completely or partially covered by the body element 7 .

[0031] figure 2 Schematically shows a push button with the flow influencing element 5 in the first po...

Abstract

A vehicle includes, but is not limited to at least one flow influencing element with a spoiler edge arranged in a lateral rear region of the vehicle. The flow influencing element has a first position, in which the spoiler edge is substantially concealed by a body element and a second position, in which the spoiler edge is substantially exposed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle having at least one flow-influencing element with an airflow separation edge arranged in the rear region of the vehicle side. The invention also relates to a method for influencing the air resistance of a vehicle. Background technique [0002] From DE 199 12 140 C2 a flow-influencing element is known for reducing the air resistance of a vehicle, which can be arranged, for example, in the rear region and moves periodically so that time-dependent disturbances can be introduced in a defined manner Against the wind. [0003] Although such flow influencing elements are suitable for reducing the air resistance of the vehicle, they are complex to install on the vehicle and also affect the appearance of the vehicle. While technical aspects are important when designing vehicle skin and vehicle contours, aesthetic considerations also play an important role. For example, today rounder and smoother contours are trendier and mo...
