A '''streamliner''' is a vehicle incorporating [[wikt:streamline|streamlining]] in a shape providing reduced [[air resistance]]. The term is applied to [[high-speed railway]] [[trainset]]s of the 1930s to 1950s, and to their successor "[[High-speed rail|bullet train]]s". Less commonly, the term is applied to fully [[Bicycle fairing|faired]] upright and [[recumbent bicycle]]s. As part of the [[Streamline Moderne]] trend, the term was applied to passenger cars, trucks, and other types of light-, medium-, or heavy-duty vehicles, but now vehicle streamlining is so prevalent that it is not an outstanding characteristic. In [[Land speed record|land speed racing]], it is a term applied to the long, slender, custom built, high-speed vehicles with enclosed wheels.
