| has gloss | (noun) a streamlined train streamliner |
| has gloss | eng: A streamliner is any vehicle that incorporates streamlining to produce a shape that provides less resistance to air. The term is most often applied to certain high-speed railway trainsets of the 1930s to 1950s, and to their successor "bullet trains". Less commonly, the term is applied to fully faired recumbent bicycles. The term was also applied to cars, but now car streamlining is so prevalent that it is not an outstanding characteristic. In land speed racing, it is a term applied to the long, slender, custom built, high-speed vehicles with enclosed wheels. |

| has gloss | deu: Ein Stromlinienfahrzeug besitzt eine Karosserie, die extrem windschnittig gebaut ist. Fahrzeughersteller entwickeln deshalb besonders strömungsgünstige Karosserieformen, um einen guten cw-Wert zu bekommen, damit ein Auto weniger Luftwiderstand aufnimmt. Je weniger Luftwiderstand, umso geringer sind der Fahrwiderstand und der Benzin-Verbrauch, und umso höher die mögliche Geschwindigkeit. |
