Various embodiments are directed to an air jet shield. The air jet shield may include a support frame configured to attach to a vehicle utilizing a set of security straps. Sets of V-shaped and concave air ducts may be horizontally and vertically coupled to the support frame, respectively. Each of the air ducts may have a decreasing cross-sectional area and include (i) an inlet that receives air from a surrounding environment during a travel of the vehicle into a headwind or crosswind and (ii) an outlet that dispenses the air received from the inlet as a free air jet. Upon entering a headwind or crosswind, the free air jet creates a wind shear causing rotation at an increased velocity. Within the free air jet and surrounding the vehicle, static air pressure and wind velocity is decreased, thereby causing a reduction in aerodynamic drag during travel.
