Are airplanes designed to reduce or increase drag?

Airplanes try to reduce drag so they can cut back on fuel costs, and shave time off their route.


Why are airplanes made in a streamlined shape?

To reduce drag and therefore improve performance and efficiency.


How does drag affect a paper airplane?

Drag effects paper airplane just as it affects anything else that moves. It is either parasitic or induced on paper airplanes. Drag may reduce a paper airplanes speed and/or range.


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.


How can an object be designed to reduce air friction or drag?

An object can be designed to reduce air friction or drag by improving its aerodynamics, such as streamlining its shape to minimize resistance. Additionally, adding smooth or flatter surfaces can help reduce turbulence and drag. Employing materials with low friction coefficients can also help reduce air resistance.


How is aerodynamics used in airplanes?

Everything on the outside of an aircraft is designed to be low drag and strong enough to cope with flight..


What does drag affect paper airplanes'?

Drag affects everything that flies.


What is a boattail?

A boattail is the progressively narrowing rear end of a bullet or ballistic missile which is designed to reduce drag.


What is airodynamic mean?

Aerodynamic refers to the study of how objects move through air or other gases. It involves understanding how shapes and designs can reduce drag and improve efficiency in motion. Many vehicles, such as airplanes and cars, are designed with aerodynamics in mind to improve performance.


Give examples of objects are designed to reduce the amount turbulent flow of air or water over them.?

Objects designed to reduce turbulent flow include streamlined vehicles like airplanes and cars, which feature aerodynamic shapes that minimize drag. Boat hulls are also designed with smooth, elongated forms to promote laminar flow and reduce turbulence in water. Additionally, wind turbine blades are crafted to optimize airflow, enhancing efficiency by decreasing turbulence around the blades. These designs enhance performance and stability by ensuring smoother flow dynamics.
