Flow body for a vehicle with a compressible skin

A flow body for a vehicle having at least one flow surface, which is subjectable to a flow surrounding the vehicle, as well as a skin system attached to the at least one flow surface of the vehicle, the skin system comprising:

• a top layer;
• and
• a foam arrangement positioned between the at least one flow surface and the top layer;
• wherein the top layer comprises an elastic, surface-like material;
• wherein the foam arrangement comprises at least one first layer of an elastic, compressible open cell foam;
• wherein the foam arrangement is bonded at least in a section to the top layer;
• wherein the skin system has a static shape in an unloaded state, in which the shape defines an outer surface geometry that directly follows the geometry of the respective flow surface;
• and
• wherein the skin system has a deflected shape when the flow body is subjected to an at least partially turbulent air flow, in which deflected shape the top layer at least in a region of an occurring turbulence at least temporarily compresses the foam arrangement.
