Aerodynamic mud flaps
I just stumbled across this concept the other day, for those that need to keep them in place may be a good solution.
Basically there are a couple of different variations, they come as various louvred and grilled designs, the idea is 50-70% of the air passes through, but 90% of the water spray is channeled down to ground. Trucking papers quote circa 3% FE improvement along with safety improvemennts by reducing sidespray, hence improved visibility.
Has anyone tried anything like this?
