| Abstract: |
An automotive air spoiler device has a pair of wing spoiler members provided on the left and right sides of the tail of an automobile body. Each wing spoiler member is disposed along each lateral side of the tail of the automobile body and extends obliquely outwardly from the automobile body. The wing spoiler members effectively interrupt air which tends to move from respective lateral sides of the tail of the automobile body to one of the upper side, rear side and the underside of the automobile body so as to prevent generation of a negative pressure region on the lateral sides of the tail of the automobile body, thereby ensuring high straight running stability of the automobile during running under the action of a lateral wind.
