All lift and drag data for these airfoils were generated using NASA's FoilSim III software, version 1.3. Data assume average cruise speed for each type of aircraft.

As we said earlier, a low drag could mean more lift, hence more drag means more downforce. Important to note is the fact that the drag coefficient is a highly volatile figure.

Wearing Z06 bodywork, a ZR1 front splitter and side skirts, along with an aftermarket hood and rear spoiler, the C6 started off with a drag coefficient (CD) of 0.373, an overall lift coefficient ...

Researchers at Stanford University have discovered counterintuitive ways that birds use drag and lift when they fly. The findings may influence future research into how to “repurpose” drag and ...

NOVA Without the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag, aircraft would be unable to fly, wind turbines would not spin, and countless other machines that we depend on every day would not work.
