Air Foil The Air Foil is an arched piece of metal or plastic device mounted to the rear of dump trucks. It uses the air passing the top of the truck and forces it down the backside of the truck. The air pressure being forced down the back of the truck exponentially reduces buildup on the tailgate rear lights and spreader system of the truck.
