Yes. The more the streamlining can produce a laminar flow over an aircraft's surfaces, the lower the induced drag becomes, and the more efficient the aircraft becomes, cutting down on power requirements; the plane flies better.

Why do airplanes need to be streamlined?

Airplanes are streamlined in order to reduce drag (coefficient of friction). This allows for less resistance, less fuel consumption, and greater speed.

Why are airplanes made in a streamlined shape?

To reduce drag and therefore improve performance and efficiency.


What are the five examples of streamlined shapes in day to day life?

Airplanes have streamlined shapes to reduce drag and improve aerodynamics. Fish have streamlined bodies to move efficiently through water. Cars often incorporate streamlined designs to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce wind resistance. Speedboats are built with streamlined hulls to glide smoothly through water. Bullet trains have streamlined profiles to decrease air resistance and achieve high speeds.


Why do airplanes are bullet shaped?

Smooth, streamlined shapes reduce air resistance. Symmetric shapes ensure flight stability.


Why are airplanes streamlined with rounded instead of square wings and bodies?

if they were square it would be like friction and the airplane wouldn't be able to move

Why are airplains and birds have stremlined?

Birds are streamlined because all species of birds that ever existed and were NOT streamlined were unable to outfly the streamlined predators, so they got caught and eaten, laid very few eggs, had very few hatchlings, and became extinct. Airplanes are streamlined because that design reduces aerodynamic drag, which directly subtracts from thrust. So a streamlined airplane uses much less fuel than a square airplane does to cover the same distance. Once this fact became generally known, nobody would buy any square airplanes, and the companies that built them went out of business. A lot like the birds.
