Induced drag Calculator

Induced drag is a type of drag generated by the production of lift on a finite wing. When an aircraft generates lift, it creates vortices at the wingtips due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing.

Where:

  • = induced drag
  • = lift
  • = air density
  • = velocity
  • = wing area
  • = pi (approximately 3.14159)
  • = Oswald efficiency factor
  • = aspect ratio
