Aerodynamics (from Ancient Greek ἀήρ (aḗr) 'air' and δυναμική (dunamikḗ) 'dynamics') is the study of the motion of air, particularly when affected by a solid object, such as an airplane wing. [1]

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 …

Dec 7, 2023 · What is Aerodynamics? The word comes from two Greek words: aerios, concerning the air, and dynamis, which means force. Aerodynamics is the study of forces and the resulting motion of …

Aerodynamics is the study of forces and the resulting motion of objects through the air.

Jul 25, 2025 · Aerodynamics is the study of how air interacts with solid objects, particularly how it flows around objects like: aircraft, cars, and buildings. It’s a subfield of fluid dynamics and focuses on …

Aerodynamics is essentially the application of classical theories of “fluid mechanics” to external flows or flows around bodies, and the main application which comes to mind for most aero engineers is flow …

Mar 7, 2025 · Thinking about how to move through a fluid quickly and effectively is really what aerodynamics is all about. If we want a more formal, scientific definition, we can say that …
