Aerodynamic Design

Aerodynamic Design is the academic discipline within vehicle engineering that focuses on the optimization of external shapes and surface configurations to control airflow interactions, thereby minimizing drag and enhancing lift, stability, and efficiency in both aircraft and automotive systems.
