Aerodynamics is related to the shape of the car to reduce air resistance and drag. Aeroplanes are kept clean and polished for the same reason - to reduce the friction caused by the air resistance.

∙ 10y agoAs long as two surfaces move relatively to each other, friction can't be avoided. And the verse effects of friction are quite obvious. Hence aerodynamics studies the movement of bodies in space (air) or the way air moves over the surface of bodies in order to reduce friction by accurate and stylish streamlining.
Not just that, aerodynamics engineers do also take advantage of the air moving over the surface of a body to keep fast moving bodies on the ground as seen in sports cars (e. g. check the design of the enzo Ferrari and read about spoilers). On the other way round, it can also apply this advantage in lifting a body from the ground.
In Turbines, aerodynamics is applied to perfectly direct air flow into the compressor; this is also seen in the car radiator positioning and design.
All these must be done with precision and fashion to suite a good design condition.

How do aerodynamics improve car designs?
It decreases the mpg by lowering the wind resistance pushing against the car.
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
What is another term for wind tunnel effect?
Aerodynamics
What branch of science deals with the manufacturing of a car?
There are several branches of science which would deal with a car, but the main one would probably be Engineering - the practical application of science to commerce or industry. Aerodynamics Applied Science Chemistry Computer Science Electronics Engineering Environmental Science Mathematics Physics Thermodynamics
How do you make a paper plane that goes fast?
You study aerodynamics at a college or a university.
What does the shape of a car have to do with the amount of gas it uses?
aerodynamics. a car can save A LOT on gas if it has good aerodynamics.
What makes a formula one car competitive?
Aerodynamics Power of engine Reliability Chassis Brake Bias Stability
What is faster small car or big car?
It is the power to weight ratio and aerodynamics that makes one car faster than another, not necessarily it's physical size.
How do aerodynamics affect car design?
The faster the car goes the thicker the eir gets, to cut/drive throught this thick air the car needs good aerodynamics. Ao aerodynamics are very important.
What makes the worlds fastest car fast?
Good aerodynamics and as much power as possible (emissions and reliability, being the deciding factors).
What is a catchy title for a science project about aerodynamics of a car?
Cutting Wind!Aerodynamics in the Fast Lane
What are the secrets to a fast Co2 car?
aerodynamics
Is a small car better in high winds?
A car that has better aerodynamics will be better in the wind than say, a tall vehicle with less aerodynamics size not been a factor.
What makes a Ferrari go fast?
Same thing that makes every car go fast. Power, weight (or rather lack of it), good aerodynamics, gearing, technology, etc, etc ,etc
Does a hood scoop actually enhance a car’s aerodynamics?
A functioning hood scoop is not in place to increase the aerodynamics of a car. It is system to help force more air into the intake of the car’s engine, making in go faster.
Automotive aerodynamics differ from aircraft aerodynamics?
from my point of view automotive aerodynamics deals with the air flow on the surface if the car and calculations of drag on its body. While aircraft aerodynamics deals with the Lift and Drag calculations of the aircraft during the flow of air on its body.
What are the benefits of aerodynamics of modern vehicles?
aerodynamics on a modern car is useful if your going quickly to cause more control of the car, and also if you are on the motorway like a normal person because if you are cutting through the air more smoothly meening that you are using less fuel to power your car to the same pace and momentum as one without aerodynamics.
