Aerodynamics

STREAMER TESTING

Telltails illustrate the change in airstream behavior when the tailgate (automatically) opens into a spoiler position, at speed, and then closes as vehicle comes to a stop. Video's suggest a constrained airstream inside the bed with streamers pushed downward onto the bed floor when gate is at or near the closed position, and the subsequent release of the airstream rearward of the vehicle when there is a partial opening of the gate.
