superficies por las cuales pasa el flujo del aire


Explanation:
Más que estar en contacto, lo que se quiere resaltar es que por encima o por debajo de ellas pasa el "flujo del aire" y consecuentemente deben ser sometidas a un diseño especial para que no se ofrezca resistencia al avance de la aeronave (drag)

Wash: (v.) To flow against or along American Heritage Dictionary

Importante resaltar que en aviación no se habla del aire en este contexto sino del flujo del aire.
