induced lift
1Lift-induced drag — In aerodynamics, lift induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, is a drag force that occurs whenever a moving object redirects the airflow coming at it. This drag force occurs in airplanes due to wings or a lifting… …
2Lift (force) — For other uses, see Lift. Boeing 747 8F landing A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a surface force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the …
3Lift-to-drag ratio — In aerodynamics, the lift to drag ratio, or L/D ratio ( ell over dee in the US, ell dee in the UK), is the amount of lift generated by a wing or vehicle, divided by the drag it creates by moving through the air. A higher or more favorable L/D… …
4induced drag — That part of total drag caused by the same aerodynamic factors that produce lift. Total drag is the sum of the parasite drag and the induced drag. Induced drag is dependent on the airfoil shape, its lift coefficient (CL 2 ), velocity (1/V2 ),… …
5induced drag — noun : the portion of the wing drag induced by or resulting from the generation of the lift …
6induced drag — Aeron. the drag force generated in the production of lift. [1925 30] * * * …
7induced drag — /ɪnˌdjust ˈdræg/ (say in.dyoohst drag) noun (in aerodynamics) that part of drag which is caused by lift …
8Zero-lift drag coefficient — In aerodynamics, the zero lift drag coefficient CD,0 is a dimensionless parameter which relates an aircraft s zero lift drag force to its size, speed, and flying altitude. Mathematically, zero lift drag coefficient is defined as CD,0 = CD − CD,i …
9translational lift — The additional lift (or rotor thrust) obtained through air speed because of the increased efficiency of the rotor system, whether it is when transitioning from a hover into forward flight or when hovering in a wind. During a hover, the rotors are …
10Vortex induced vibration — Vortex induced vibrations (VIV) are motions induced on bodies facing an external flow by periodical irregularities on this flow. The classical example is the VIV of an underwater cylinder. You can see how this happens by putting a cylinder into… …
