Parasite Drag

Not associated with lift development

Skin Friction

Form

Interference

Proportional to V^2

Induced Drag

Drag associated with lift

Leakage at wing tips

Inverse to V^2

Skin Friction Drag

Parasite

Air particled that stick to wing and thus slow down the rest thtough boundary layer.

Form Drag

Parasite

When boundary layer seperates from wing - turbulent/reverse flow behind separation point.

Interference Drag

Parasite

Normal shape drag

Lift formula

L = 0.5 * p * V^2 * S * Cl
