The drag component that results from the generation of lift by an aircraft’s wings. It is a critical parameter used to assess the efficiency of an aircraft’s lift production and its impact on overall aerodynamic performance. lv: This likely represents the lift-induced drag coefficient for an aircraft. L’v: This may be the change in lift […]
