Abstract
Embodiments provide an aerodynamic fairing system that may comprise a base configured to mount to a vehicle, an arm coupled to the base at a proximate end and extending laterally, an a fairing mounted to the arm having an inboard and an outboard surface. The fairing outboard surface may provide an aerodynamic outer surface to direct flow to an angle to the rear. The arm may a fixed or adjustable length arm. The arm may provide a mounting area for a mud flap such that aerodynamic system may act as a mud flap hanger. Embodiments also provide an adjustable mud flap hanger.
Claims20
A fairing assembly adapted to couple to a vehicle, the assembly comprising:
- an arm configured to be coupled to a frame of a vehicle;
- and
- a fairing coupled to the arm, the fairing positioned on an outboard side of the vehicle, the fairing having an inboard surface and an outboard surface, the fairing outboard surface comprising an aerodynamic outer surface to direct longitudinal air flow in a rearward angle.
A method for providing a fairing assembly on a vehicle, comprising:
- coupling an arm to a frame of a vehicle;
- and
- coupling a fairing to the arm, wherein the fairing is positioned on an outboard side of the vehicle, the fairing having an inboard surface and an outboard surface, the fairing outboard surface comprising an aerodynamic outer surface to direct longitudinal air flow in a rearward angle.
