Lift Force Given By Drag Coefficient Calculator

Lift is the aerodynamic force generated by an airfoil or an aircraft wing as a result of the flow of air over its surface. Lift is the force that opposes gravity and enables an aircraft to overcome the force of weight, allowing it to achieve and maintain flight. It acts perpendicular to the relative airflow and is responsible for keeping the aircraft airborne and controlling its altitude. The formula to calculate lift as follows:

Where:

  • L is the lift force in N,
  • CL is the Lift Coefficient,
  • CD is the Drag Coefficient,
  • D is the Drag force in N.
