Title: Zero lift drag Coefficient formula?
Post by: Buzzbait on February 15, 2001, 03:05:00 PM

S! all

Wondering if someone could give me the hard data requirements, as well as the formula for calculating an aircraft's Zero Lift Drag Coefficient?

                    Thanks

use my spreadsheet, it does it automatically, asking you for several parameters you can test in aces high.


CD,O cannot be determined (accurately) through math, thats why we still use wind tunnels (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
