Basically, the streamlining usually culminates in a pointed tip or similar device which will 'cut' through the air, pushing the particles out the way, where as an object without streamlining, with a bulky front, will just face up to the particles and get slowed down by having to push through them.

∙ 14y agoThey typically achieve this by using a low profile, using specially designed valances and fins to channel the air flow a certain way, and by having as many laminar surfaces (no protrusion of bolts, screws, etc) as possible.

The body design helps as well

Why is streamlining used?
to reduce air resistance or drag.
What affect does streamlining have on forces?
It tends to reduce air (or water) resistance.
How does streamlining reduce drag?
Force streamlining reduces air resistance or air friction.
Why does streamlining work?
air resistance
How do you improve streamlining on a car?
Wind tunnels are used to improve the streamlining of cars.The shape of a car can be made like a tear-drop or like an aeroplane wing to reduce air resistance. Sometimes a spoiler is fitted at the the back to improve the air flow making it more streamlined. Another way to reduce air resistance is to make the car closer to the ground.
What are the two main things done to car to improve streamlining?

What is the shape of a car which reduces air resistance?
The streamlining shape.
How does streamlining help airplanes fly?
Streamlining helps anything move faster through the air.
How is streamlining useful?
In believing in god, one can understand everything.
What is streamlining in friction?
streamlining is the process by which the designs of moving tools like cars are made easy for the air to flow, to avoid air resistance or friction.
How do you resist air resistance?
You don't "resist" it but you "reduce" it. For example, many vehicles and projectiles are made in a streamline design to reduce air resistance.
How does a plane reduce the effects of air resistance?
by flying in the air
