drag
retarding force on a body moving in a fluid
drag coefficient
dimensionless parameter to quantify fluid resistance
lift-to-drag ratio
aerodynamic efficiency of how far an aircraft can move forward without engine power for every meter it sinks
Lift-induced drag
parasitic drag
drag that results when an object moves through a fluid
drag equation
equation for the force on a body moving in a fluid
Wave drag
Aircraft aerodynamic drag at transonic and supersonic speeds due to the presence of shock waves
drag polar
Relationship between drag on an aircraft and other variables
