How do you control drag from increasing on helicopter?

Drag cannot be eliminated because drag always acts parallel to the relative wind. We can control by purchasing or using the right airfoil on the aircraft. An airfoil with smooth surface produces more lift than one with a rough surface. A rough surface creates turbulence, which reduced lft and increases drag.


In swimming what is the relationship between drag and swimming?

Well "drag" is usually used to describe something that will slow you, like a drag suit worn over a jammer or Fastskins, or simply wearing another suit. Swimming without that will not slow you at all, therefore in practice swimmers use drag to improve and go faster in meets.
