Types of Drag

This document discusses the different types of drag experienced by aircraft and the factors that influence drag. It outlines that total drag is equal to profile drag plus induced drag. Profile drag consists of form drag, skin friction drag, and interference drag. Total drag is influenced by factors like the shape and surface condition of the aircraft, density of the fluid medium, speed of relative airflow, angle of attack, viscosity of air, Reynolds number, aspect ratio, and wing planform. A drag equation is provided that calculates total drag based on profile drag coefficient, induced drag coefficient, air density, velocity, and reference area.
