In bobsled, you work as a team - a driver and a brakeman. Both athletes push, but the brakeman's biggest responsibility is to push as fast as she can and get in and ride down in a good aerodynamic position. The driver helps to push but gets in first and then steers the sled down the track. We aren't just along for the ride, despite how it looks!

For many years in my laboratory and other laboratories around the world, we've been studying fly behaviors in little flight simulators. You can tether a fly to a little stick. You can measure the aerodynamic forces it's creating. You can let the fly play a little video game by letting it fly around in a visual display.

All horses are different - sometimes they have a long neck - so you don't ride the same way on every horse. It depends on their body, and your body, but the object is to get down low so you're aerodynamic, so you call pull from the horse through the head. The best jockeys do that really well, and know how much to push.

The most amazing lesson in aerodynamics I ever had was the day I climbed a thermal in a glider at the same time as an eagle. I witnessed, close up, effortlessness and lightness combined with strength, precision and determination.

Nowadays you need a strong aero package, a good aerodynamic car, but also mechanically you cannot afford to have poor suspension. It all goes together as a package and you have to have harmony in the car.

I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air, about the certain size of rocket nozzles, and thrust. But that's not science, that's just a formula.

Driving at high speed where safe and legal is part of my life. As well as a higher top speed I wanted even better stability in my FX and that meant work on the aerodynamics.

Richard Bach

Aerodynamics is mathematics for those who haven't learned to do calculus. In my case, too, for one who hasn't learned to add or multiply, at least the first time.

Efficiency is key to a successful kitchen. Clean your station as you go. Make yourself aerodynamic. Buy the best. Taste ingredients as you go.

Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.

Italian Designer

Aerodynamic objects are designed to move easily through air, often shaped to minimize resistance.

Reducing Drag

Vehicles with aerodynamic features can travel further using less fuel, saving costs and energy.

Fuel Efficiency

Aerodynamic designs in sports gear or vehicles aim to enhance speed by reducing the air's resistance.

Speed Enhancement

Aerodynamic relates to physics and how air affects moving objects; important in concepts like lift and drag.

Physics Context

In engineering, aerodynamic knowledge is applied to design efficient structures, vehicles, and machinery.

Engineering Relevance

Aerodynamic concepts are often used in sports to improve performance of athletes and equipment.

Sports Applications

 from tree to tree they kill their body around 25 degrees depending on which way the air is flowing to make them more aerodynamic getting lit you do live from tree to tree and they're known to eat bamboo bats and bamboo bats are one of the smallest bat species in the world they're around the same size as a bumblebee and they live in bamboo but the paradise tree snake will maneuver

 we want to do two main things. The first one is to reduce friction. We want to take the rocket and have as little friction as possible so it's the most aerodynamic possible. And the second thing is we want to load as much fuel as possible, to give it the most amount of motivation, energy to do its task. And behavior change is the same thing.

 Is there any evidence that flies do this? Well, for many years in my laboratory and other laboratories around the world, we've been studying fly behaviors in little flight simulators.

 And it also helps you build streamlined fins if you're a fish, aerodynamic wings if you're a bird, or well coordinated legs for running if you're a fox. But, what does this all have to do with evolution? Turns out, biologists can use these various body symmetries to figure out which animals are related to which.

 dinosaurs' relationship to birds. - Birds are extremely rare in the fossil record, and this is for a number of reasons. One is that birds are all pretty small. Aerodynamics limits body size, so you can't get that big. The other thing is that birds have hollow bones.
