coefficient of drag in 0 lift
For cylinders coefficient of lift is approximately half of coefficient of drag while they are equal for Aerofoils.
For no lift, The induced drag will be zero. However, there will still be drag due to viscous forces and pressure forces.

In 1939, Eastman Jacobs at the NACA in Langley, designed and tested the first laminar flow airfoil sections. These shapes had extremely low drag and the section shown here achieved a lift to drag ratio of about 300.
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.
it has a shape on its wing called airfoil search it up it combined forces of thrust weight drag and lift must be equal.
Each aircraft has a different shaped airfoil. The purpose of the airfoil shape is to reduce drag over a range of speeds which the aircraft wing operates at while providing the least possible drag at the cruising speed (regular flight speed) in order to ensure good performance.
min lift coeff of 1412 =.60 thefore Cl will be 1.10 at angle of attatck 4 and mach .8
A wing will generate lift according to the following equation: L = ½ A C ρ v² A = wing area C = lift coefficient ρ = air density v = air speed The lift coefficient C is a function of Angle of Attack (AOA), which is the angle between the wing's chord line and the relative wind. The greater the angle, the greater the lift coefficient up until the critical AOA where the wing begins to stall and lose lift. The lift coefficient is also a function of wing aspect ratio and will be specific to a certain airfoil shape.
The difference between airfoil and airfoil section is that airfoil is a structure with curved surfaces designed to give the most favorable ratio of lift to drag in a flight, it is used as the basic form of wings, fins, and tailplanes of most aircraft. An airfoil section is the cross- sectional shape or profile of an airfoil. I studied that in sixth grade for a model plane that I did a report on. Researching into things that aren't required can help put you farther into life's riches. Hope I helped.
