The lift equation is fundamental in aerodynamics and is used to calculate the lift force required to keep an object, like an aircraft, in the air based on its design, the surrounding air density, the reference area, and its velocity relative to the air.
- Lift Force (L) is measured in Newtons (N).
- Coefficient of Lift (Cl) is dimensionless.
- Air Density (ρ) is measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- Reference Area (A) is measured in square meters (m²).
- Velocity (V) is measured in meters per second (m/s).
