aero
Before space, dynamically
Aero is a prefix meaning air or aircraft: aerodynamics, aerospace, aerobics.
As a standalone adjective, it describes something designed for reduced air resistance: an aero helmet, the car's aero package.
In cycling and motorsports especially, aero refers to equipment or positioning optimized for aerodynamic efficiency.
