Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/109893
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A vehicle body underside air flow controller, wherein a vehicle speed is detected and actuators (14) are driven so that the ground height of an under cover (10) is H2 and a forwardly raised angle is &agr 2 when the vehicle speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined vehicle speed (high speed) and that the ground height of the under cover (10) is H1 and the forwardly raised angle is &agr 1 when the vehicle speed is lower than the predetermined vehicle speed (low speed) to control the forwardly raised angle of the under cover (10) according to the vehicle speed.
