 All | ||
| cdFriction | [0, 1] | Drag contributions due to friction |
| 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 |
| cdInterference | [0, 1] | Drag contributions due to mixing of streamlines between airframe components (e.g., interaction between wing and fuselage or pylon and wing) |
| cdPressure | [0, 1] | Drag contributions due to the displacement of the flow around a component. Zero for irrotational two-dimensional flows. |
| cdTrim | [0, 1] | Drag contributions due to trimmed aircraft configuration |
| cdViscous | [0, 1] | Drag contributions due to shear forces on surfaces |
| cdWave | [0, 1] | Drag contributions due to energy dissipation in shock waves |
