Aerodynamic shapes are those that tend to minimize or eliminate the production of turbulence in a liquid medium (including air and gasses) as the medium and the shape move relative to one another. It makes no difference if the shape is moving through the medium, or the medium is moving around the shape. The point is the same: lower turbulence. Aerodynamic shapes typically have tapered leading edges that present to the stream. Then they typically widen to their maximum width and continue to taper to their trailing edge. The waterline of a kayak or canoe are good example of a typical aerodynamic shape.

How tungsten filament made?
Tungsten filament is used in the creation of the light bulb. It can be made in different shapes like coiling, and horizontal or vertical helix.
Mass customization and its use in production Compare and contrast it with other methods?
A nice example of mass-customization: http://www.sunclipies.com They offer exactly tailored sunglass clip-ons for correctional eyeglasses, based on a foto, which the owner of the eyeglasses sends. Like this the sunglass clip ons are really exactly tailored.A contrasting method would be to just mass-produce shapes which match the eyeglasses shapes somehow.
Who is producing AH 36 steel grade profiles or shapes?

What does an engineering surveyor do?
Engineering surveyors take precise measurements of natural features, shapes and contours on the surface of the Earth. This done to provide accurate maps for design and construction projects.
Why most industries are concentrated around coal mines?
Most Industries are concentrated around coal mines or the following reasons- 1. We know that the major industries are iron and steel industry. 2.The iron and steel industry requires heat to melt the steel to form different shapes. 3.Therefore more heat can be generated by the energy stored in the coals. 4.This energy can be easily available as coal mines are nearly located.
Why use parallelogram fins for a rocket?
There the most aerodynamic of fin shapes.
What word do you use for shapes that move through water and air easily?

What shapes are spaceships?
Penis shaped spaceships so they become more aerodynamic. It's a concept taken from biology for high efficiency input and output.
What is the aerodynamic simulation?

Are kayaks aerodynamic?
Kayaks are hydrodynamic not aerodynamic. Aerodynamic means 'of the air'. People don't fly on kayaks.

What does it mean to say you can be aerodynamic?
aerodynamic |ˌe(ə)rōdīˈnamik|adjectiveof or relating to aerodynamics : aerodynamic forces.• of or having a shape that reduces the drag from air moving past : the plane has a more aerodynamic shape.
What is air residence?
Resistance is force applied against an object trying to move through it like a car. That's why they test shapes in wind tunnels to see what is more aerodynamic. (reducing said resistance)
