Parasite drag - skin friction
Induced Drag - caused by angle of attack
- Skin Friction - friction on the skin from the air
- Form Drag - resistance of body parts moving through the air
- Interference Drag - assembled aircraft creates more drag than the parts would if they were individuals
- Leakage Drag - air leaks out doors and windows
-Slow, clean and heavy is the condition with the most induced drag.
