Lift and Drag From Coefficients
The lift can be determined by integrating the circulation terms:
which can be reduced to:
where is the first term of the solution of the simulatanous equations shown above.
The induced drag can be determined from

Famous quotes containing the words lift and/or drag:
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, “the whole is greater than its part;” “reaction is equal to action;” “the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;” and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Since man began

And nation nation.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
