Consortium members in NASA Ames Research Center 12-foot pressure wind tunnel. • Perform over-the-road testing to verify drag savings for the base flap device. • Initiate a program and a new testing apparatus to study wheel/tire splash and spray. of 5-6% (not accounting for energy use for blowing) from Phase I road tests. Future Direction • Conduct Phase II of on-road full-scale HV testing and demonstrations of pneumatic aerodynamic drag-reduction, fuel-economy and safety of operation techniques
