WHEELED ROAD VEHICLE WITH AERODYNAMIC WING AND FLAP Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: road transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to road vehicles with wagon type body, particularly, to intercity service buses. Proposed vehicle contains running gear, mechanisms and instruments of control, internal combustion engine, power transmissions, electrical equipment, wheels with brake mechanisms, wagon-type body, driver's cab, windows, doors, and seats rationally arranged in body. Aerodynamic wing is installed on load-bearing beam over body roof with angle of attack of aerofoil-section chord equal to 10-15 degrees in zone of rear axle on area up 1/3 in length of body longitudinal axis. Ends of wing are turned downwards at right angle. Wing is made with concave upper and flat lower surfaces and with flap provided with fins on ends in rear part of aerodynamic wing and installed on their axle on hinge supports for tilting upwards through 35-45 degrees, when driver pushes control lever coupled with springs of roller-and-cable mechanisms, and returning in initial position when control lever at right hand of driver is pulled.

EFFECT: improved reliability and increased service life of brake mechanisms and use of systems decelerating inertia forces of wheeled vehicle.
