1. Aerodynamic

   Aerodynamics, from 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. It involves topics covered in the field of fluid dynamics and its subfield of gas dynamics. The term aerodynamics is often used synonymously with gas dynamics, the difference being that "gas dynamics" applies to the study of the motion of all gases, and is not limited to air. The formal study of aerodynamics began in the modern sense in the eighteenth century, although observations of fundamental concepts such as aerodynamic drag were recorded much earlier. Most of the early efforts in aerodynamics were directed toward achieving heavier-than-air flight, which was first demonstrated by Otto Lilienthal in 1891. Since then, the use of aerodynamics through mathematical analysis, empirical approximations, wind tunnel experimentation, and computer simulations has formed a rational basis for the development of heavier-than-air flight and a number of other technologies. Recent work in aerodynamics has focused on issues related to compressible flow, turbulence, and boundary layers and has become increasingly computational in nature.

1. aerodynamic

   Aerodynamic refers to the properties or characteristics of an object that enable or enhance its movement through air, often referring to the streamlined design of an object to reduce air resistance and drag. It also pertains to the study of how air moves around solid objects, particularly in the field of designing vehicles or structures such as cars, airplanes, or buildings.

2. aerodynamic

   Aerodynamic refers to the properties of an object that allow it to move smoothly and efficiently through the air. It entails the study of how air flows over objects and the forces that the air and objects exert on each other. An object or vehicle that is aerodynamic experiences less air resistance, which can improve speed and efficiency. This concept is widely used in designing various objects such as cars, airplanes, and even buildings.

Examples of aerodynamic in a Sentence

1. David Manica:

   We wanted the building to be iconic and sleek, like a luxury sports car, very aerodynamic, in motion, flowing lines from every angle.

2. Leif Ristroph:

   These experiments tell an origin story for oriented meteorites, the very aerodynamic forces that melt and reshape meteoroids in flight also stabilize [them] so that a cone shape can be carved and ultimately arrive on Earth.

3. The Spaniard:

   If we improve two and a half seconds, we will win next year, it's realistic, but the thing is we need to work very hard with very high discipline all winter, all united, because in this new Formula One everything is a package, it's not anymore an engine, aerodynamic, mechanical side.

4. Achim Anscheidt:

   We didn't want to create just some kind of fantasy or science fiction project which is quite normal in that category. We wanted the Bugatti way to be an approach that is very technical and very elaborated, and based on our engineering values and our aerodynamic research. And on the functional elements, to portray the design elements really being driven by form follows performance.

5. Hypersonic Test Vehicle 3X:

   We're now producing a controllable, low-drag, aerodynamic configuration capable of stable operation from take-off, to sub-sonic, trans-sonic, super-sonic, and hypersonic to Mach 6.
