释义 | aerodynamic (eəroʊdaɪnæmɪk ) adjective [usually ADJECTIVE noun] If something such as a car has an aerodynamic shape or design, it goes faster and uses less fuel than other cars because the air passes over it more easily. The secret of the machine lies in the aerodynamic shape of the frame. aerodynamically adverb [ADVERB adjective, ADVERB with verb] Cars are becoming so aerodynamically efficient. Collocations: aerodynamic advantage However, the cycling world had woken up to the possibilities of aerodynamic advantage. Times, Sunday Times Teams can gain an aerodynamic advantage by having front wings that flex downwards at speed. Times, Sunday Times Any boat in clear air to windward has an aerodynamic advantage over other boats.

Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 They argued it gave the three an aerodynamic advantage over the rest of the field. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 He altered the aerodynamic design of his bikes, but only after trialling the results in the controlled environment of a wind tunnel. Times, Sunday Times University decided to dispense with aerodynamic design in favour of a glass fibre shape which seemed to have been inspired by a milk float. The Sun The company say its aerodynamic design brings down fuel consumption and emissions to 85g/km. The Sun Part of the car's aerodynamic design featured a glass roof. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 Thus, they had to use a different material and built their own canopy that serves their aerodynamic design needs, attaching it with duct tape. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 This is necessary for downhill stretches, on which the vehicle's aerodynamic efficiency comes into its own. Times, Sunday Times (2012) Windows were to remain shut for aerodynamic efficiency, speeds were to be kept reasonable and there were no passengers to chat to. Times, Sunday Times (2010) The 25-year-old needed more power and aerodynamic efficiency. Times, Sunday Times (2008) Aerodynamic forces will alternately make it want to fly and dive into the ground. Times, Sunday Times The system should not have been unlocked until mach 1.4, because of the risk of aerodynamic forces moving the tail structure and creating 'an uncommanded feather', investigators said. Times, Sunday Times These stabilizing surfaces allow equilibrium of aerodynamic forces and to stabilise the flight dynamics of pitch and yaw. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 Aeroelastic flutter occurs under steady flow conditions, when a structure's aerodynamic forces are affected by and in turn affect the movement of the structure. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 The extreme subtleties of the aerodynamic forces on the light wooden boomerang make it surprisingly difficult to predict how the finished boomerang will perform. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 As they fly through the air, the blobs can often take on an aerodynamic shape like a football.

Times, Sunday Times That's not too surprising as the aerodynamic shape and sharply raking roofline improve fuel efficiency. The Sun The new technical rules, which are designed to simplify the aerodynamic shape of the cars, reduce downforce and increase overtaking, have specified a smaller diffuser in a more rearward position. Times, Sunday Times It combined its aerodynamic shape with the technology of wired bridges, for the purpose of minimizing both the loads and structural bulk.
