LIFTL=CL 1/2P S V2 • L = Lift Force • CL= Coefficient of Lift • P = Air Density (slugs of air per cubic foot) • S = Total wing area (in square feet) • V = Airspeed (in feet per second)
DRAG • INDUCED • PROFILE • PARASITIC • TOTAL DRAG
Minimum rate of descent autorotation. Maximum endurance airspeed. Maximum rate of climb airspeed. Best maneuvering airspeed (most cases) Max glide distance in autorotation Max range DRAG AND AIRSPEEDS
