Induced drag is created by the:

spanwise flow pattern* resulting in the tip vortices.

 

*bilden

Di = spanwise flow pattern = tip vortices.

AR and induced Drag (Relationship)

a decrease in AR increases the induced drag

AR "^" : Di "v"

What is the effect on induced drag of mass and speed changes?

Induced Drag decreases with increasing speed and

induced drag decreases with decreasing weight!

DI ~ Weight

DI anti ~ speed

The induced drag increases as the lift coefficient increases.

DI ~ CL (lift coefficient)

High AR, as compared with Low AR has the effect:

decreasing induced drag and critical angle of attack.

High AR = decreased DI and AoA

TAS & Induced Drag

"TAS increases - DI decreases" 

TAS anti ~ DI ((Diagramm) x und TAS))

CDi (The induced drag coefficient) is proportional with:

CL²

CDi ~ CL²

Induced AoA is the result of:

downwash due to tip vortices.

Induced angle of attack results from downwash due to tip vortices.

The span-wise flow on an unswept wing is from the:

lower to the upper surface via wing tip.

span-wise flow on an unswept wing:

lower to the upper surface via the wing tip!

local flow pattern:

By fitting winglets to the wing tip the strength of the wing tip vortices is reduced, which in turn reduces induced drag.

fitting winglets, reduces induced drag.
