Se confunde a menudo con

aerodynamics vs aeronautics

Aeronautics is the broad science of building and flying aircraft, while aerodynamics specifically refers to how air moves around objects.

📝

Notas de uso

Aerodynamics is used as a singular noun (e.g., 'Aerodynamics is a difficult subject'), even though it ends in 's'. It is common in both technical engineering contexts and sports discussions involving speed.

⚠️

Errores comunes

Learners often treat it as a plural word because of the 's' ending. Avoid saying 'The aerodynamics are very good'; instead, use 'The aerodynamics is very good' or 'The aerodynamic design is very good'.
