What defines a shape as being aerodynamic is that is has as little resistance as possible at the front of the shape (whichever direction is moving forward) and also allows the air to rejoin after the shape with as little turbulence as possible. So the most aerodynamic shape would be a needle that is pointed at both ends. However this shape is not really useful in most applications, but the idea of this pointed at both ends shape can be seen in many of the newer cars. Look at a prius for example, the front is pointy and the back is designed as a point but is cutoff prematurely.

∙ 15y agothe shape that is the most aerodynamic is the teardrop shape, as it allows air to move freely around the object with very minimal turbulence.

What is the importance of shapes to designs?
The importance of shapes is that shapes are a buiding block to math or art .Most people use shapes to beatify and atract .
What science is used to build airplane?
While there are many different scientific principles and disciplines used to design and build an airplane, I suppose the most important "science" would be that of aerodynamics. Aerodynamics is the science that determines the shape of the wings and the fuselage, and how it performs while moving through the air.
What is another term for wind tunnel effect?
Aerodynamics
Why do you want to study the aerodynamics of a car or plane?
you're an idiot no you are not an idiot the study of aerodynamics is to improve the ability of a vehicule to move thru the air with the least resistance possible therefore making it more efficient
How do you make a paper plane that goes fast?
You study aerodynamics at a college or a university.
How does the bodyshape of an airplane help it in flying?
Streamlined shapes help aerodynamics and speed .
Describe two applications each of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics?
For aerodynamics:-We can design and build shapes which would prove efficient for flight.We can use it to calculate paths of any substance which entered the atmosphere from outer space.For hydrodynamics:-We can design and build shapes which would prove efficient for floating, traveling in water.
Is their any chance that the heavier objects in free fall differ from the lighter objects when it comes to its acceleration?
Yes. The acceleration depends on the aerodynamics of the shapes of the objects - not their mass.
What name is given to moving air?
Aerodynamics
How are aerodynamics tested?
aerodynamics can be tested by a wind tunnel
What are Aerodynamics of a catapult?
the aerodynamics is the stupid answer that no one knows
What are the most common polygon shapes?
The most common polygon shapes are as follows:TriangleQuadrilateralPentagonHexagonOctagon
What shapes were the most common shapes for kites and why?
a triangle
What is the branch of aerodynamics?
internal aerodynamics and external aerodynamics. internal is related to flow of ducts and external to going away from the bodies.
How do you find irregular shapes?
Irregular shapes are all around. Most shapes are irregular.
Can most shape have 19 edges?
Some shapes can have 19 edges but not most shapes.
How can you study aerodynamics underwater?
I'm no professional at this but im pretty sure you could use a fish tank with water to test the effect of a pressurized stream (colored) as its passes by the object wanted to study the aerodynamics underwater. Wether it passes undisturbed or not, i don't know but it has been used to find specific shapes for future submarines and stuff.
