Lift in level flight calculator

“lift” refers to the force that counteracts the weight of an aircraft and allows it to maintain level flight. Level flight occurs when an aircraft is flying horizontally at a constant altitude, neither climbing nor descending.

  • (rho) represents the air density.
  • represents the velocity of the aircraft relative to the air.
  • represents the wing area.
  • represents the coefficient of lift when the aircraft is at an angle of attack of zero (i.e., the angle between the oncoming air and the wing’s chord line is zero).
