Has someone experience with vortex generators on trucks ?
Is there something available ( aftermarket) or from an airplane?
Would look cool , just like to now if its beneficial like fuel efficiencie by maybe reducing drag?

 

Never seen them on a truck...got a picture of what you're thinking?

 

TORNADO!! lol jk, when I first read this it's the only thing that came to mind.

I remember seeing a few trucks at SEMA that had the undercarriage completely covered kinda like how the new BMW's are doing. It helps with aerodrynamics on cars for sure, but I'm not sure how well it would help the truck because of the cab. If you have access to a wind tunnel that'd be cool

 

Its used in aviation , if you google around you will find there are companys like mitsubishi are doing research on te subject to reduce drag . On Ebay i saw kits for evo's .

 

yeah the new STi's have them on the back window I believe

 

I have seen evo's with something similar on their trailing egde of the roof but I don't think it would benefit the trucks....we have so much drag that i don't think it'd make any difference.

 

ha ha, I thought it was a joke, but seriously we have them on f-15's to force the missles away from the fuselage, and we send new guys to oil them...

but isnt the lip on the top of the tail gate is for that?

 

Lips on the tailgate?

lol.....I can see the newby with his oil can trying to figure out where tooil...

 

ha ha i can think of other places for tulips



any hoo... thats a decent shot of the "lip"

 

i don't think that lip is for aerodynamics at all. The older style that didn't have the "step" on the top of the tailgate, they got torn up really fast.
