'Aerodynamik' combines 'Aero-' (air) with '-dynamik' (movement and acting forces). This combination helps you understand the word as a technical term for the movement of bodies through the air.
Die Aerodynamik spielt beim Bau moderner Flugzeuge eine zentrale Rolle.
Aerodynamics plays a central role in the construction of modern aircraft.
When referring to the scientific field, 'Aerodynamik' (aerodynamics) is often used with verbs such as 'untersuchen' (to examine), 'erforschen' (to research), or 'berechnen' (to calculate). Typical topics include air resistance, lift, and flows.
Die Ingenieurin untersucht in der Aerodynamik die Strömung um verschiedene Flügelprofile.
In aerodynamics, the engineer examines the flow around various wing profiles.
For the properties of a vehicle or body, common expressions include 'die Aerodynamik verbessern' (to improve the aerodynamics), 'die Aerodynamik optimieren' (to optimize the aerodynamics), or 'eine gute Aerodynamik haben' (to have good aerodynamics). The specific object is often mentioned, such as a car, bicycle, or aircraft.
Dank seiner schmalen Form hat das neue Rennrad eine sehr gute Aerodynamik.
Thanks to its narrow shape, the new racing bike has very good aerodynamics.
