It's due to resistance. If you are in the car roll down the window and put your hand into the air stream (provided it's safe to do so). First hold it upright with your palm flat, you will feel the wind pushing against your hand. Then tilt your hand so it is horizontal and you will notice there is a lot less resistance.
If you have a large flat or blunt shape it will take a lot more energy to move it. This is why aircraft (with the exception of some cargo aircraft) are streamlined.

yes but i dont know how....
Does the shape of an airplane wing affect its speed?
Yes,the swept back wings have the speed above sound,the wings where the airlines have has the speed just below sound and those planes where have wing that are a hundred degrees is a slow flying plane
How does the wing shape on an airplane affect its ability to hold weight?
It can affect the lift that carries the plane through the air.

Yes, planes are effected by shape just like cars.
Does the shape of the sail affect the speed?

How does aerofoil cause the plane to lift?
Aerofoils are able to lift the plane by wind speed, and wind direction. Aerofoils can also lift the plane up by its shape when bent downward of an aeronautical wing shape. - Aerospace engineering
Is a sphere a plane shape or a solid shape?
plane shape
Is a square a plane shape or a solid shape?
it is a plane shape because you said its a square
Does wing shape affect flight?
Yes. Wing shape affects flight. If the wing is more aerodynamic then a plane can fly more faster.
Is a circle a plane shape?
A circle is not a plane shape. A circle is round a plane is not. A plane has parts that are similar to a circle shape.
