According to NASA, "Aerodynamics is the way air moves around things. The rules of aerodynamics explain how an airplane is able to fly. Anything that moves through air reacts to aerodynamics. A rocket blasting off the launch pad and a kite in the sky react to aerodynamics. Aerodynamics even acts on cars, since air flows around cars."

"What Are the Four Forces of Flight? - The four forces of flight are lift, weight, thrust and drag. These forces make an object move up and down, and faster or slower. How much of each force there is changes how the object moves through the air. "

To me, it sounds like a 'rule' or law that shows wisdom and design, something we humans have learned from. Boeing could never build a goose.
