Abstract
An aerodynamic device for reducing the wind resistance of a vehicle or a trailer is provided. The aerodynamic device is intended to be mounted to a vehicle structure at or close to the rear end of a vehicle. The device includes a flexible sheet material arranged to the vehicle or trailer such that it is hanging along the vehicle structure when it is in a resting position and arranged to extend beyond the rear end of the vehicle or trailer when deployed. The flexible sheet material includes an inner side and an outer side. The flexible sheet material is attached to the vehicle structure such that it deploys as a result of the coanda effect inducing a lower pressure on the outer side than on the inner side of the flexible sheet material when the vehicle or trailer is moving. The flexible sheet material is further attached to the vehicle structure by at least one restrictor such that the restrictor by the restriction shapes the flexible sheet material in its deployed state to a desired shape. A vehicle or trailer including such an aerodynamic device are also provided.
