| 31. | Ground effect also alters thrust versus velocity, where reduced induced drag requires less thrust in order to maintain the same velocity.
|
| 32. | This can also allow less induced drag by the wing, and hence a greater cruise speed for a given power setting.
|
| 33. | At low speeds an aircraft has to generate lift with a higher angle of attack, thereby leading to greater induced drag.
|
| 34. | When this happens, it results in an increase of both primary and induced drag, and decrease of lifting force or thrust.
|
| 35. | Additionally, while the VLM cannot compute the viscous drag, the induced drag stemming from the production of lift can be estimated.
|
| 36. | To achieve powered, forward flight birds must counteract induced drag on the wings, both acting against the relative direction of flight.
|
| 37. | Some military aircraft are able to achieve controlled flight at very high angles of attack, but at the cost of massive induced drag.
|
| 38. | Wingtip vortices are associated with induced drag, the imparting of downwash, and are a fundamental consequence of three-dimensional lift generation.
|
| 39. | The interaction of parasitic and induced drag " vs . " airspeed can be plotted as a characteristic curve, illustrated here.
|
| 40. | When I learned aerodynamics I was taught that the lift vector always had a rearwards component and that this is what creates induced drag.
