coefficient of drag
coefficient of drag (CD)A coefficient dependent upon the angle of attack, shape of the airfoil, Reynolds number, and Mach number. Drag coefficient (CD) = Drag (D)/Dynamic Pressure (q) or {¼(Density (ρ) × Air Speed2 (V2)} x Wing Area (S). CD = D/qS, or 2D/ρV2S.AcronymsSeeCDcoefficient of drag Related to coefficient of drag: Coefficient of liftSynonyms for coefficient of dragnoun the ratio of the drag on a body moving through air to the product of the velocity and the surface area of the bodySynonymsRelated Words |
