A device for controlling drag on a ground vehicle is presented. The device consists of a porous skin mounted on the trailing surface of the ground vehicle. The porous skin may be separated from the vehicle surface by a distance of at least two times the boundary layer formed on the surface. Alternately, the trailing surface of the ground vehicle may be porous. The device minimizes the strength of the separation in the base and wake regions of the ground vehicle, thus reducing drag.
