Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0450543A1] A box-shaped structural member (2) with a polygonal box section as well as elements for reducing air resistance which are allocated to at least individual edges of the structural member is characterised in that baffle surfaces (4) are allocated to at least individual edges of the structural member (2), which baffle surfaces (4) in each case run along these edges, have a profile surrounding the edges and are arranged at a distance from the walls of the structural members. In a structural member with an essentially parallelepiped-shaped design, essentially all edges of the structural member (36) which are exposed to the air flow are provided with baffle surfaces (38, 40, 42), and the profiles of the baffle surfaces (4) are quadrantal profiles. <IMAGE>
