What Are The Three Key Aerodynamic Principles? There are three basic forces to be considered in aerodynamics: thrust, which moves an airplane forward; drag, which holds it back; and lift, which keeps it airborne. Lift is generally explained by three theories: Bernoulli’s principle, the Coanda effect, and Newton’s third law of motion. What are the

What Is Aerodynamic Shape? Aerodynamic shape optimization, or aerodynamic design optimization consists in maximizing the performance of a given body (such as an airfoil or wing) by changing its shape. What is the perfect aerodynamic shape? The most aerodynamically-efficient shape for a vehicle is, in theory, a teardrop. A smooth shape minimises drag and the
