      Element cdFriction[0, 1]

Drag contributions due to friction

      Element cdInduced[0, 1]

Drag contributions due to energy loss through vortex structures caused by the pressure difference between the upper and lower sides of three-dimensional lifting surfaces.

      Element cdInterference[0, 1]

Drag contributions due to mixing of streamlines between airframe components (e.g., interaction between wing and fuselage or pylon and wing).

      Element cdPressure[0, 1]

Drag contributions due to the displacement of the flow around a component. Zero for irrotational two-dimensional flows.

      Element cdTrim[0, 1]

Drag contributions due to trimmed aircraft configuration

      Element cdViscous[0, 1]

Drag contributions due to shear forces on surfaces

      Element cdWave[0, 1]

Drag contributions due to energy dissipation in shock waves

Remarks
The drag contributions relate to different physical mechanisms. The sum of the contributions does not have to be equal to the total drag.
