Definition
流线型 describes a sleek, aerodynamic shape that reduces air or water resistance — think of a bullet train, a dolphin, or a sports car. It's used both literally in design and engineering and figuratively for anything that appears smooth, modern, and efficient. The word is a compound noun (流线 'streamline' + 型 'type/shape'), so you can say 流线型设计 ('streamlined design') or 流线型车身 ('streamlined car body').
