  1. 1. What is the definition of aerodynamics? • The study of airflow and the forces involved when an object moves through the air

  2. 2. What is the definition of drag? • Wind resistance that tends to hold a vehicle back when it moves forward

  3. 3. What is the definition of laminar flow? • Straight and even airflow

  4. 4. What is the definition of skin friction? • Drag due to surface finish

  5. 5. What is the definition of vortices/eddies? • Swirling of air due to lack of laminar flow

  6. 6. What is the definition of transportation? • The process by which passengers or goods are moved or delivered from one place to another.
