Coefficient Of Lift Given By Drag Calculator

The lift coefficient  is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the effectiveness of an airfoil or wing in generating lift. It is a measure of how efficiently an aircraft’s wings can produce lift for a given set of aerodynamic conditions. The lift coefficient is influenced by factors such as the shape of the airfoil, the angle of attack, and the airspeed. A higher lift coefficient generally indicates a greater ability to generate lift. The formula to calculate Lift coefficient as follows:

where:

  • is the lift coefficient,
  • is the gross weight of the aircraft in  kg,
  • is the drag coefficient,
  • is the drag force in N.
