Aerodynamic drag on a moving vehicle is reduced by a forward-mounted wing that is movably mounted for adapting the vehicle's aerodynamic profile according to the forward speed of the vehicle. In certain embodiments, the wing is self-adapting according to air flow over the vehicle. In other embodiments, the wing may be actuated to one of a range of preset positions, according to a measurement of vehicle speed.
