Aerodynamic efficiency is the measure of how effectively an object can move through air with minimal resistance, optimizing performance and energy consumption. It is crucial in the design of vehicles and aircraft to enhance speed, fuel economy, and overall performance by reducing drag and improving lift-to-drag ratios.

Fuel economy measures how efficiently a vehicle converts fuel into distance traveled, typically expressed in miles per gallon (MPG) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). Improving fuel economy reduces fuel costs and emissions, contributing to environmental sustainability and energy conservation.
