Induced Drag Coefficient given Total Drag Coefficient Formula Elements

Variables
Induced Drag Coefficient
The Induced Drag Coefficient is a dimensionless parameter that describes a relation between the coefficient of the lift and the aspect ratio.
Symbol: CD,i
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Total Drag Coefficient
The Total Drag Coefficient is the sum of the coefficients of all the drag forces i.e. skin friction drag, pressure drag, etc. which are acting on the wing.
Symbol: CD
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Profile Drag Coefficient
The Profile Drag Coefficient is a dimensionless parameter that describes the viscous effect of the skin friction drag and the pressure drag due to the flow separation on the wing.
Symbol: cd
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
