Aerodynamic lift, drag, and side forces exerted on moving motor vehicles are investigated in these Government-sponsored research reports. Forces acting on passing vehicles as well as those acting under and around individual moving vehicles are reviewed. Methods for streamlining vehicle configurations for fuel conservation are suggested. (Contains 33 abstracts)
