Variables Used
Skin Friction Coefficient - Skin friction coefficient is an important dimensionless parameter in boundary-layer flows. It specifies the fraction of the local dynamic pressure.
Flat Plate Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Flat plate area is the area of a flat plate having. the same drag as the subject body.
Form Factor Drag - Form factor drag is the ratio between the body’s parasite drag and the skin friction drag of the equivalent plate.
Aircraft Wetted Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Aircraft Wetted Area is the surface area that interacts with the working fluid or gas.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Flat Plate Area: 10.97 Square Meter --> 10.97 Square Meter No Conversion Required
