  1. Drag • Drag is the force that opposes the forward motion of an aircraft. • The two main types of drag are parasite drag and induced drag. • Parasite drag is further broken into two types, form drag and skin friction. Level Two 414.03 OHP # 1

  2. Parasite Drag • Parasite drag is the drag produced by those parts of the aircraft that do not contribute to the production of lift. • Form drag refers to the drag created by the form or shape of a body as it resists motion through the air. • Skin friction refers to the tendency of air flowing over a body to cling to its surface. Level Two 414.03 OHP # 2

  3. Induced Drag • Induced drag is the drag produced by those parts of the aircraft that are active in the production of lift. • It is the result of the wing’s work and therefore a part of lift and can never be eliminated. Level Two 414.03 OHP # 3
