I have a pet hypothesis about that. What if the Tardis is hovering somewhere just off space-time, perhaps in the Void, and that what manifests at a certain place and time is nothing more than the disguised airlock poking into real-space like a submarine's sail poking through the arctic ice-pack. (See below.)
Aerodynamics would thus be largely irrelevant, and might explain why the Tardis traveling linearly through space is both feasible and exceptional, and might even help explain why the Tardis was relatively invulnerable in real-time (vs and on the Dalek fleet, for example.)
