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.
