Скачать или смотреть Drag in Aircraft | Induced vs Parasite Drag & Speed–Drag Curves Explained |

Learn the complete concept of drag in aircraft, including induced drag, parasite drag, and how they relate to speed–drag curves.
This lesson explains how different types of drag affect aircraft performance, fuel efficiency, and flight planning.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

Definition of drag in aviation

Difference between induced drag and parasite drag

How speed affects each type of drag

The concept of total drag and its minimum point

How to read and interpret a speed–drag curve

Why knowing drag characteristics is important for pilots

Exam Focus:
This is a high-scoring topic for CPL, ATPL, and Aerodynamics modules in DGCA, FAA, and EASA exams. Questions often require understanding of how changes in airspeed impact drag, and identifying the speeds for minimum drag or best endurance.

Ideal For:

CPL/ATPL students

Flight instructors explaining performance theory

Aviation enthusiasts learning flight mechanics

Pilots improving efficiency and performance management

By the end of this video, you’ll be able to clearly distinguish between induced and parasite drag, understand their relationship to airspeed, and interpret the speed–drag curve to optimize aircraft performance.
