Abstract
A front cowling includes a cowling panel that covers a front portion of a vehicle from the front and sides, and a wing that protrudes laterally from the cowling panel. The rear edge of the wing is located higher than a front edge of the wing. An air guide path is formed that takes in a traveling wind from the front of the vehicle and discharges the traveling wind as an airflow into a space below the wing.
