Some technologies that depend on aerodynamics are cars, bicycle racing helmets, wind turbines, and golf balls. Aerodynamics is the way air moves around things. Since air is all around us, there are many examples of aerodynamic technology other than for aircraft. Look at golf balls for example. Golf balls have their unique shape with hundreds of dimples on them is to improve their aerodynamics and create more lift.  Due to this design, golf balls can travel farther after being hit.
