Drag on a unit span of the wedge with respect to chord length Calculator

The “drag on a unit span of the wedge,” often denoted as , refers to the aerodynamic force acting on a unit span (usually 1 meter) of a wedge-shaped object due to the airflow around it. This force is known as drag, and specifically quantifies the drag force per unit span length. 

  • Drag on a unit span of the wedge (D’) in N/m
  • Chord length of the wedge (c) in m
  • Wedge angle (𝜃) in rad
  • Pressure over the base (p2) in N/m^2
  • Freestream static pressure (p1) in N/m^2
