| 1. | The rising wing generates increased lift, which causes increased induced drag.
|
| 2. | The descending wing generates reduced lift, which causes reduced induced drag.
|
| 3. | Induced drag is caused by the generation of lift by the wing.
|
| 4. | Trains may use spoilers to induce drag ( like an air brake ).
|
| 5. | The additional backward component of the force vector is called lift-induced drag.
|
| 6. | The wingtips provide some endplate effect to increase ground effect and reduce induced drag.
|
| 7. | Most importantly, there is an induced drag.
|
| 8. | The compression lift decreased the induced drag of the XB-70 about 30 %.
|
| 9. | This induced drag is a pressure drag which has nothing to do with frictional drag.
|
| 10. | An ideal wing has infinite span and induced drag is reduced to a two dimensional property.
