Air Tabs

[DavidGardner]

Do they realy work? I bought some and havent installed them yet. A couple of years ago they were well advertized in the TDR magazine. If they are so great why havent I seen them on any big rigs? I am beganing to think maybe they are bogus. Anyone out there who have any opinions?

By the way I have a set for sale if anyone thinks they are so great.

How many and how much??

The theoretical physics of it pan out. Like a golf ball, the dimples add turbulence that causes the air to wrap closer around the back side of the ball causing longer flight and if applied properly could help wrap the air around closer to the back of your vehicle. Is something that small and applied in such a small area capable of mimicking this? I'm not sure, it would be interesting to look into it.
