The NACA area rule is one approach to reducing transonic interference drag.
2.
Particular geometric characteristics on aircraft often show how designers have dealt with the issue of interference drag.
3.
The drag coefficient of a complete structure such as an aircraft also includes the effects of interference drag.
4.
The wing was mounted on a narrowed pylon which faired into the cockpit canopy, reducing interference drag between fuselage and wing.
5.
These structures are covers for gaps and spaces between parts of an aircraft to reduce form drag and interference drag, and to improve appearance.
6.
At the centre it had a flat undersurface, making the wing thick and easy to strengthen as well as reducing wing root interference drag.
7.
The overly complex structure of three wings and their accompanying struts and bracing wires created so much interference drag that the six engines could barely compensate.
8.
A blended winglet is attached to the wing with smooth curve instead of a sharp angle and is intended to reduce interference drag at the wing / winglet junction.
9.
The name means " one-and-a-half wings . " The arrangement may reduce interference drag between the wings whilst retaining the biplane's structural advantage.
10.
Interference drag plays a role throughout the entire aircraft ( e . g ., nacelles, pylons, empennage ) and its detrimental effect is always kept in mind by designers.
