Deployable aerodynamic wind deflectors: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Turbulent airflow in open-top cabins creates noise and thermal discomfort for passengers, which is mitigated by deploying integrated mesh barriers. These mechanisms stabilize the interior microclimate to enhance high-speed drivability.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Deployable aerodynamic wind deflectors?

Aerodynamic roof turbulence noise

(14)evidences

Roof-mounted structures create significant parasitic drag and aeroacoustic disturbances. Reducing these forces improves fuel efficiency and passenger comfort.

Pedestrian impact injury risk

(12)evidences

Discontinuities and gaps at the tailgate and hood interfaces create turbulent airflow and pressure drag. Reducing these aerodynamic losses improves fuel efficiency and high-speed stability.

Inadequate passenger compartment environmental isolation

(12)evidences

Vulnerability of the cabin to external environmental factors, solar heat gain, and unauthorized visibility through glass apertures. Mitigating these exposures improves thermal management and occupant privacy.

Inadvertent closure entrapment risk

(7)evidences

High-speed airflow enters the open passenger compartment causing noise and occupant thermal discomfort. Reducing this draft improves cabin ergonomics and passenger communication.
