aerodynamic drag — The resistance of the air to forward movement, sometimes called air resistance. This is a factor of the shape of the vehicle (drag coefficient and frontal area), the objects which stick out (i.e., mirrors, mufflers, bumpers), the amount of… … Dictionary of automotive terms
Drag (physics) — Shape and flow Form drag Skin friction 0% 100% 10% 90% … Wikipedia
aerodynamic forces — The forces on a body moving through a gaseous medium. In an aircraft, the thrust acts forward, drag acts rearward, and lift acts vertically upward. The weight of an aircraft produces a force that acts vertically downward. The tailplane also… … Aviation dictionary
Automobile drag coefficient — The drag coefficient is a common metric in automotive design, where designers strive to achieve a low coefficient. Minimizing drag is done to improve fuel efficiency at highway speeds, where aerodynamic effects represent a substantial fraction of … Wikipedia
Cycling power meter — A cycling power meter is a device on a bicycle that allows measuring of the power output of the rider. Most cycling power meters use strain gauges to measure torque applied, and, combined with angular velocity, calculate power. The Technology was … Wikipedia
Lift-induced drag — In aerodynamics, lift induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, is a drag force that occurs whenever a moving object redirects the airflow coming at it. This drag force occurs in airplanes due to wings or a lifting… … Wikipedia
Slip (aerodynamic) — A slip is an aerodynamic state where an aircraft is moving sideways as well as forward relative to the oncoming airflow. In other words, for a conventional aircraft, the nose will not be pointing directly into the relative wind . Flying in a slip … Wikipedia
Wave drag — is an aerodynamics term that refers to a sudden and very powerful form of drag that appears on aircraft and blade tips moving at high subsonic and supersonic speeds. Overview Wave drag is caused by the formation of shock waves around the aircraft … Wikipedia
