    Aerodynamics ( Ancient Greek: ἀήρ aero (air) + Ancient Greek: δυναμική (dynamics)) is the study of the motion of air, particularly when affected by a solid object, such as an airplane wing. [1] . It involves topics covered in the field of fluid dynamics and its subfield of gas dynamics, and is an important domain of study in aeronautics.

  6. Designed to reduce or minimize the drag caused by air as an object moves though it or by wind that strikes and flows around an object. The wings and bodies of airplanes have an aerodynamic shape. Discover More.

  7. Aerodynamics includes the study of the interactions of air with moving objects, such as airplanes, and of the effects of moving air on stationary objects, such as buildings. aerodynamics. The branch of science devoted to the study of the flow of gas es around solid objects.

  8. Aerodynamics, branch of physics that deals with the motion of air and other gaseous fluids and with the forces acting on bodies passing through such a fluid. Aerodynamics seeks, in particular, to explain the principles governing the flight of aircraft, rockets, and missiles.

  9. Dec 7, 2023 · Aerodynamics is the study of forces and the resulting motion of objects through the air. Humans have been interested in aerodynamics and flying for thousands of years, although flying in a heavier-than-air machine has been possible only in the last hundred years.

  11. Nov 21, 2022 · If we want a more formal, scientific definition, we can say that aerodynamics is the science of how things move through air (or how air moves around things). Photo: You can swim faster and for longer by ensuring your body disturbs the water as little as possible as it moves along. You can't see air, but exactly the same principle applies.
