Lift-induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, in aerodynamics, is an aerodynamic drag force that occurs whenever a moving...

both the form drag of the body and by the induced drag associated with creating a lifting force. It depends principally on the lift and drag coefficients...

the lift coefficient also increases, and so too does the lift-induced drag. At the onset of stall, lift is abruptly decreased, as is lift-induced drag, but...

whereas lift-induced drag is the result of an airfoil generating lift. Parasitic drag comprises all types of drag except lift-induced drag. Form drag arises...

dynamic drag: skin friction and form drag. The drag coefficient of a lifting airfoil or hydrofoil also includes the effects of lift-induced drag. The drag coefficient...

includes all other sources of drag including lift-induced drag. In this conceptualisation, lift-induced drag is an artificial abstraction, part of the horizontal...

C_{D,i}} is the lift-induced drag coefficient at the same conditions. Thus, zero-lift drag coefficient is reflective of parasitic drag which makes it very...

the aircraft. Winglets also reduce the lift-induced drag caused by wingtip vortices and improve lift-to-drag ratio. This increases fuel efficiency in...

apparent wind. As the lift generated by a sail increases, so does lift-induced drag, which together with parasitic drag constitutes total drag, (D). This occurs...

spinning. Washout may also be used to modify the spanwise lift distribution to reduce lift-induced drag. Washout is commonly achieved by designing the wing...

The drag curve or drag polar is the relationship between the drag on an aircraft and other variables, such as lift, the coefficient of lift, angle-of-attack...

This tends to increase the lift-induced drag of the foreplane, which may be given a high aspect ratio in order to limit drag. Such a canard airfoil has...

causes a significant departure from the elliptical. This increases lift-induced drag which can be beneficial during approach and landing because it allows...

less drag and greater fuel capacity, and were similar in configuration to those on the 767. A wider wingspan than the 727's produced less lift-induced drag...

elevator combination) produces lift–induced drag in a similar way as the lift on the wing produces lift–induced drag. The changes (shifts) of the position...

vortices are associated with induced drag, the imparting of downwash, and are a fundamental consequence of three-dimensional lift generation.: 5.17, 8.9  Careful...

cause of lift-induced drag—normally a significant portion of the drag affecting an aircraft. The greater the span of a wing, the less induced drag created...
