The lift coefficient () for a finite wing is a dimensionless aerodynamic parameter that quantifies the lift generated by the entire wing normalized by the dynamic pressure of the flow and the wing’s reference area. It is a crucial parameter used to characterize the aerodynamic performance and lift generation capability of a finite wing, taking into account the entire wing’s spanwise lift distribution.Â
