EMMANUEL • AVIATOR • SCHOLAR • LIFESTYLE on Instagram: "CFI- Certified Flight instructor Induced drag- is a result of lift and occurs when an airfoil passes through the air. It’s greatest when maximum lift is being developed, which is usually at low speeds. Parasite drag- is a type of aerodynamic drag that occurs when an aircraft surface interferes with the airflow around it. It’s caused by friction between the aircraft surface and the air, landing gear, or aerials. Follow and subscribe to @pilo

This Is How Winglets Work

Discover the Hidden Force That Slows You Down: Unveiling the Science of Drag

A wing with an elliptical planform is flying through sea-level air at a speed of 45 m/s. The wing loading W/S = 1000 N/m^2. The wing is untwisted and has the same section from root to tip. The lift curve slope of the section, mo, is 5.7. The span of the wing is 10 m, and the aspect ratio is 5. Find the sectional lift and induced drag coefficients. Find also the effective, induced, and absolute angles of attack. What is the power that is required to overcome the induced drag of the wing?
