Aerodynamics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aerodynamics means studying how air (or gas) travels around something moving through it, and reducing how much drag is caused. Streamlining is one of the major fields in aerodynamics. Aerodynamics are used to reduce drag in vehicles.

The study of gases that are not in motion is called aerostatics.

Aerodynamics comes from Aero (Air), and Dynamic (Moving).
