Meanings
-
(uncountable) The science of the dynamics of bodies moving relative to gases, especially the interaction of moving objects with the atmosphere.
He specializes in aerodynamics.
-
(uncountable) The aerodynamic properties of a particular object (typically a car or aircraft).
However, it can also make the aerodynamics more difficult to control, and it becomes much harder to stop the nose of the car scraping against the surface of the track.
2024 April 3, Joe Holding, Rebecca Braybrook, “What do DRS, black and white flag, porpoising and more mean? F1 terms explained”, in Autosport:This type of airfoil doesn't have the right aerodynamics to achieve what they're trying to achieve.
