* '''Lift: CL''' | * '''Lift: CL''' Lift is a function of QBar * Wing Area * Cl<sub>lift</sub>. Cl<sub>lift</sub> is generally derived from a 2d table as a function of AoA. In the real world it is also a function of Reynolds Number, too. | ||
* '''Drag: CD''' It is important to ensure all coefficient functions in the drag section remain positive. | * '''Drag: CD''' It is important to ensure all coefficient functions in the drag section remain positive. When drag coefficient functions are negative, drag is effectively acting as thrust opposite the relative wind. | ||
