Lift given induced drag Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Lift Force
Lift force is the component of the total force acting on a body that is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid flow.
Symbol: FL
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Induced Drag
Induced drag is primarily caused by the formation of wingtip vortices, which are created due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of a lifting wing.
Symbol: Di
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dynamic Pressure
Dynamic pressure, also referred to as velocity pressure, is a specific type of pressure associated with the kinetic energy per unit volume of a moving fluid.
Symbol: q
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Lateral Plane Span
Lateral plane span is set of all linear combinations of 2 non-parallel vectors u and v is called the span of u and v.
Symbol: bW
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
