There are many factors that affect the amount of drag generated by a body.
Drag Equation Drag is the force that opposes the aircraft's motion . There is a simple algebraic equation to relate the factors that affect drag.
a measure of the body's tendency to turn about its centre of gravity. This moment represents the resultant aerodynamic force times a moment distance. A similar derivation may be applied to the moment equation as used for the lift and drag equations ...
