What is the definition of drag coefficient?

Simply put, the coefficient of drag (Cd) is a way to quantify the various factors that affect, and result in, drag on an aerodynamic object. See the link below for an excellent discussion of drag coefficient on the NASA website. An airplane has 4 forces acting upon it and one of them is Drag, a force in the opposite direction of flight. Aeronautical engineers study the forces on a wing but found it easier to use non-dimensional measuresments. Drag is measure in Force (lbs). But Drag Coefficient is a value of force/force. This allows the engineer to produce charts for the numerous airfoil wing designs and have a Drag Coeffecient Chart that can be used for various sizes of wing applications.

What does the force drag mean?

"Drag" is the name given to the force of air resistance, or friction in general.


What is the meaning of drag?

Drag is something that is force exerted. It is a force that is exerted in the opposite direction of movement.


What is an example of drag force?

A drag force is a dissipative force. This can be in the form of air resistance or fluid resistance. Drag force is a force that acts opposite to the relative motion of an object moving in a surrounding fluid.
