  2. The aerodynamic properties of a particular object (typically a car or aircraft).

    • This type of airfoil doesn't have the right aerodynamics to achieve what they're trying to achieve.
    • However, it can also make the aerodynamics more difficult to control, and it becomes much harder to stop the nose of the car scraping against the surface of the track.
