	Parasitic drag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Form drag, profile drag, or pressure drag, arises because of the form of the object.
		Form drag follows the drag equation, meaning that it rises with the square of speed, and thus becomes more important for high speed aircraft.
		Interference drag is also create by closely spaced parallel surfaces such as the wings of a biplane or triplane, or the facing surfaces of an external load (such as an external fuel tank or weapon) and the fuselage or wing.

	Drag
		The drag force is computed using the coefficient of drag, the fluid density, the projected area of the body or the surface area of the body oriented perpendicular to the fluid flow, and is the relative velocity of the body with respect to the fluid.
		Form drag is always one component of the drag on a body moving relative to a fluid.
		Several factors affect the magnitude of form drag, including the relative velocity of the body with respect to the fluid, the magnitude of the pressure gradient between the front and rear ends of the body, and the size of the surface area that is aligned perpendicular to the flow.

	Drag (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For a solid object moving through a fluid or gas, the drag is the sum of all the aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces in the direction of the external fluid flow.
		Beyond these two kinds of drag there is a third kind of drag, called wave drag, that occurs when the solid object is moving through the fluid at or near the speed of sound in that fluid.
		The overall drag of an object is characterized by a dimensionless number called the drag coefficient, and is calculated using the drag equation.

	What is Drag?
		Drag is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid.
		Drag is a force and is therefore a vector quantity having both a magnitude and a direction.
		The component of the aerodynamic force that is opposed to the motion is the drag; the component perpendicular to the motion is the lift.

	Drag
		Form or pressure drag is caused by the air that is flowing over the aircraft or airfoil.
		Since this drag is due to the shape, or form of the aircraft, it is also called form drag.
		Because skin friction drag is an interaction between a solid (the airplane surface) and a gas (the air), the magnitude of skin friction drag depends on the properties of both the solid and the gas.

		Drag is the fourth of the major forces of flight.
		To minimize friction drag on an aircraft all the sheets of metal on the wing join smoothly, and even the rivets are rounded over and as flush with the surface as possible.
		Induced drag or drag due to lift is a small amount of excess (lift) force generated in the opposite direction of the lift force along a wing.

	Drag - level 3
		Since drag is a force directly opposed to the motion of the airfoil and, as the work of overcoming it is performed by the engine, it is desirable to have it as small as possible, to afford the engine to be more efficient.
		Form drag refers to the drag created by the form or shape of a body as it resists motion through the air.
		The drag on the downgoing aileron is known as aileron drag and if not corrected for in the design of the aileron, tends to cause a yaw in the opposite direction to which the bank is applied.

	The Drag Equation
		Drag depends on the density of the air, the square of the velocity, the air's viscosity and compressibility, the size and shape of the body, and the body's inclination to the flow.
		The drag equation states that drag D is equal to the drag coefficient Cd times the density r times half of the velocity V squared times the reference area A.
		Determining the value of the drag coefficient is more difficult than determining the lift coefficient because of the multiple sources of drag.

		To minimize the parasite drag it is desired to design in airfoil shape all aircraft parts such as struts, wheel fairing, etc. The two major contributors to parasite drag are the form drag and the skin-friction drag.
		The shape, or form of objects being exposed to airflow determines the magnitude of drag.
		The form drag results from the applied pressure on moving objects and depends largely on the generation of wake.

		Drag is the force of resistance caused by air or liquid pressure.
		Drag can even pull an object apart if it is not designed to withstand the force of drag.
		One source of drag is friction created by the movement of air or liquid as it crosses the surface of an object.

		Drag is a force which acts on any moving object, resisting the forward motion of that object.
		Friction drag acts on the surface of an object, in the layer of air that immediately surrounds it.
		Induced drag only affects object with lift--that is, objects that have the ability to lift off the ground.

	AMS Glossary
		At very low speeds, most of the drag exerted by the air on a body moving through it is due to viscous drag (or skin friction) acting through a fairly thin boundary layer.
		For higher speeds, so-called form drag or pressure drag arises as a result of separation of the laminar boundary layer creating a wake region of chaotic flow in which the pressure is reduced.
		In general, for large Reynolds numbers, form drag is far more significant than viscous drag.

		The vertical distribution of drag, due to gravity wave breaking at various altitudes, is briefly discussed.
		Separate analytic arguments are used in each regime, and together they provide a prediction of form drag over a wide range of parameter space.

	Command Form event
		events, if the form event property is not selected for a given event, this does not prevent calls to object methods for the objects whose same event property is selected.
		event, the object method for an object is executed in the context of the process of the drag and drop source object, not in the context of the process of the drag and drop destination object.
		The benefit of disabling events in the Design environment (using the Property List of the Form editor) is that you can greatly reduce the number of calls to methods and therefore significantly optimize the execution speed of your forms.
