A modular aerodynamic skirt assembly for reducing the air drag of a trailer, the modular aerodynamic skirt assembly comprising:
- a skirt panel including a plurality of skirt portions;
- and
- a plurality of supports for securing the plurality of skirt portions to a trailer in an aerodynamic configuration when the modular skirt panels are secured to the trailer,
- wherein adjacent skirt portions are connected together with an interconnecting edge disposed at a non-90° angle from vertical when the plurality of skirt portions are operatively secured in the aerodynamic configuration.
