    摘要: An aerodynamically enhanced appendage covering (10) includes a first portion (14) that is not subject to significant airflow and a second portion (28) that is positioned to engage significantly more airflow when placed on a moving body (MB). At least a part of the second portion (28) includes an aerodynamically enhanced area. The aerodynamically enhanced area includes a first frontal zone (24), a second turbulence inducing zone (28), and a third rear zone (32). The frontal zone (24) is configured to have a relatively smooth surface for inducing a relatively lesser amount of turbulence on air flowing past than the second zone (28). The second zone (128) has a relatively less smooth surface and includes a plurality of turbulence-inducing features (38) configured for creating a boundary layer (40) for inducing turbulence in air flowing past the second zone (28).
