Parasitic drag, also known as profile drag,: 254 : 256  is a type of aerodynamic drag that acts on any object when the object is moving through a fluid...

wake behind the body. Parasitic drag, or profile drag, is drag caused by moving a solid object through a fluid. Parasitic drag is made up of multiple...

total drag can be decomposed into a parasitic drag component and a lift-induced drag component, where parasitic drag is all components of drag except...

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...

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 useful...

by a sail increases, so does lift-induced drag, which together with parasitic drag constitutes total drag, (D). This occurs when the angle of attack...

in supersonic flight. Parasitic drag: While high aspect wings create less induced drag, they have greater parasitic drag (drag due to shape, frontal area...

wingspan. Extending the span would lower lift-induced drag, but would increase parasitic drag and would require boosting the strength and weight of the...

nosewheel. As a result, the smaller wheel weighs less and causes less parasitic drag. Because of the way airframe loads are distributed while operating on...
