This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18504490 titled 'REACTIVE PANEL AERODYNAMIC SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE UNDERBODY

Original Abstract Submitted

An aerodynamic system for a vehicle that includes a structure. The structure includes a body that defines an underbody. The vehicle includes an assembly that moves relative to the body. A panel system is coupled with the underbody and includes an aerodynamic panel defining an opening and a reactive panel that closes the opening. The aerodynamic panel is coupled with the body at the underbody. The reactive panel moves in response to contact by the assembly and returns to close the opening when released by the assembly.
