Wind tunnel tests to determine the aerodynamic characterise of a production automobile towing a typical 20ft trailer are described. The aerodynamic forces and moments imposed the trailer under cross wind conditions are presented. The complete six-component aerodynamic data, in coefficient form is included for use in computer programs of stability and handling analysis.
