Aerodynamic efficiency
Definition
The quality, property, or degree to which a solid object possesses an aerodynamic shape; the structural capacity of a vehicle's body or an aircraft's fuselage to pierce through air layers with minimal drag resistance. Although frequently used in automotive or commercial jargon, the refined technical term 'aerodynamics' is preferred in academic settings.
