Induced Drag Coefficient Calculator

Induced drag coefficient (CDi) is a dimensionless parameter used in aerodynamics to quantify the efficiency of a lifting object, such as an aircraft wing or a rotor blade, in generating lift while also accounting for the drag induced by the generation of lift.

  • CDi: Induced drag coefficient
  • Di: Induced drag force
  • q∞: Dynamic pressure of the free-stream flow. 
  • S: Reference area
