Original Abstract Submitted

A deployable aerodynamic element for a vehicle includes a frame forming at least a portion of a periphery of the aerodynamic element and elastic sheeting configured to extend between the frame and a body of the vehicle. The frame is movable with respect to the body of the vehicle such that the aerodynamic element is deployable between a stowed position in which the elastic sheeting of the aerodynamic element has a first surface area and a deployed position in which the elastic sheeting of the aerodynamic element has a second surface area that is greater than the first surface area.
