A system for aerodynamically improving a land vehicle comprising an outer surface of the vehicle and a rear surface in the direction of travel, a deflector, having an inclination with respect to the front surface, and a series of vortex generators which are arranged on the surfaces. The rear surface, deflector, is inclined to the centre of the vehicle by between 5° to 30° with respect to the outer surface of the vehicle, and the vortex generators are arranged on the outer surface at a maximum distance of 250 mm from the change in inclination between the outer surface of the vehicle and the rear surface, wherein the vortex generators, have an inclination (β) in relation to the vehicle longitudinal axis of between 2° to 50° and the vortex generators protrude by between 1 cm to 15 cm in relation to the adjacent surfaces.
A system for the aerodynamic improvement of a ground vehicle comprising an outer side body surface of the vehicle and a rear surface in the direction of travel being a deflector, with an inclination towards a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and a series of vortex generators placed on surfaces of the deflectors wherein the deflectors are inclined between 5° to 30° with respect to the outer side body surface of the vehicle, and the vortex generators are arranged on an outer surface of the deflectors at a maximum distance of 250 mm from change in body inclination between the outer side body surface of the vehicle and the rear surface of the vehicle, the vortex generators on the outer side body surface of the vehicle or the vortex generators positioned on the rear surface will have an angle β relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle between 2° to 50° and the vortex generators protrude between 1 cm to 15 cm from the deflectors.
