REAL WORLD TECHNOLOGY

To develop our technology, Silver Eagle first considered the ergonomics between the tractor and trailer and its expected workload. Then we worked directly with Solus Technologies to deliver products that work in real world trucking.

Our research caused us to develop a rigid, shorter aero skirt, because: 1. drivers need under-truck clearance to avoid common road obstacles like curbs, steep loading ramps and snow drifts, and 2. crosswinds can be detrimental to trucks outfitted with long skirts.

Wind tunnel, fleet and track testing helped to improve the technology over time. In fact, we were able to fine tune our channel design to provide superior trailer stability. We also found that our technology works well with crosswinds, creating an “air knife” when cornering.

• Pointed edge technology prevents “upwash” drag to improve fuel mileage.
• Patent-pending dual-channel design restricts air from acting on trailer’s undercarriage and rear wheels for better trailer stability.
• Developed by Solus Technologies, using up-to the-minute NASA aerodynamic research.
