A semi-trailer aerodynamic drag deflection assembly for reducing aerodynamic drag upon all surfaces of the semi-trailer includes a pair of interior walls positioned against a respective one of a pair of lateral surfaces of a semi-trailer. A plurality of vents is positioned from an inner surface to an outer surface of the interior wall. A pair of exterior walls is positioned against a respective one of the pair of interior walls. An outside surface of each of the exterior walls has a plurality of indents for deflecting wind An undercarriage has a pair of side walls with a storage being positioned between each of the side walls. Each of the side walls has a plurality of fins directing aerodynamic drag from the bottom surface of the semi-trailer into each of the vents of each of the interior walls. A pair of doors provides access to the storage of the undercarriage.
A storage semi-trailer assembly configured for deflecting aerodynamic drag upon a surface of the storage semi-trailer being towed by a semi-trailer truck, the storage semi-trailer assembly comprising:
The storage semi-trailer assembly of claim 4, further comprising each of said vents having a flap positioned at the top surface of the semi-trailer, said flap of each of vents being coupled by a hinge, said hinge of each of said vents being configured for positioning said flap from a closed to an open position relative to each of the vents, said flap being biased towards a closed position.
The storage semi-trailer assembly of claim 5, further comprising said inside surface of each of said exterior walls being adhesively coupled to a respective one of said outer surface of each of said interior walls.
The storage semi-trailer assembly of claim 6, further comprising said plurality of indents being in an arrangement upon said outside surface of each of said exterior walls, said arrangement being configured for optimizing the deflection of aerodynamic drag upon said outside surface of each of said exterior walls wherein stabilizing the semi-trailer being towed by a semi-trailer truck.
The storage semi-trailer assembly of claim 7, further comprising a top wall being positioned upon the top surface of the semi-trailer, said top wall having an internal surface and an external surface, said internal surface of said top wall being adhesively coupled to the top surface of the semi-trailer.
The storage semi-trailer assembly of claim 8, further comprising said external surface of said top wall having said plurality of indents, said plurality of indents of said external surface of said top wall being positioned in said arrangement, said plurality of indents of said top wall being configured for deflecting aerodynamic drag upon the top surface of the semi-trailer.
The storage semi-trailer assembly of claim 9, further comprising each of said side walls protruding out from said bottom surface towards a junction, said junction being a coupling of an end of each of said side walls, said pair of side walls positioning relative to said junction defining a triangular shape of the undercarriage.
A storage semi-trailer assembly configured for deflecting aerodynamic drag upon a surface of the storage semi-trailer being towed by a semi-trailer truck, the storage semi-trailer assembly comprising:
