Lifting-line Theory - Lift and Drag From Coefficients

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
