Aerodynamic

It is possible to call aerodynamic a design that uses the shapes which derives from aerodynamics, science which studies the penetration of the air. In the period between 1930 and 1950 aerodynamic design was used to characterise the style of some automobiles. Subsequently it was applied to numerous typologies of objects to communicate the idea of movement.

A design that has some aerodynamic elements may, depending on the way in which these come into a relation with the other elements and with one another, define different moods and feelings. Constructiveness, intellectual dynamism, and pragmatism are among those that are preferred by the public and by the authors.

In a more generic and wider way, in mass production, aerodynamic styling is applied to a wide range of products as a significant of modernity; these are radios, telephones, computers, stationary items, household appliances, furniture, trainers, and many others.
