Variables Used
Drag Coefficient - Drag Coefficient is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.
Lift Coefficient - The Lift Coefficient is a dimensionless coefficient that relates the lift generated by a lifting body to the fluid density around the body, the fluid velocity and an associated reference area.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid ,such as air.
Lift Force - (Measured in Newton) - Lift force is the component of the total force acting on a body that is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid flow.
