Abstract
A device for raising and lowering an airfoil mounted on a lower portion of a vehicle body comprises a driving mechanism for driving the airfoil upwardly and downwardly, an electric device such as a motor for actuating the driving mechanism, a vehicle height detector for detecting the height of the vehicle body with respect to an axle, an airfoil height detector for detecting the height of the airfoil with respect to the vehicle body, and a control unit responsive to the vehicle height as detected by the vehicle height detector, the airfoil height as detected by the airfoil height detector, and the speed of travel of the vehicle body for actuating the electric device to lower the airfoil when the speed exceeds a predetermined level and the vehicle height is high.
