what is aerodynamics
Aerodynamics is the study of how gases interact with moving bodies. Because the gas that we encounter most is air, aerodynamics is primarily concerned with the forces of drag and lift, which are caused by air passing over and around solid bodies.hen the airplane is in level flight at a constant speed, the force of the thrust is just enough to counteract the aerodynamic drag. Moving air can also generate forces in a different direction from the flow. The force that keeps an airplane from falling is called lift. Lift is generated by an aircraft wing.
Sometimes, the speed of an object is described relative to the speed of something else; preferably some physical phenomena. 1  Aerodynamics is the study of moving air and how objects interact with it. 2  In this field, the speed of an object is often measured relative to the speed of sound.
