Another major difference is under the respective engine cowlings. Cessna started out with the ultra-smooth 0-300A Continental which pumped out 145 horses and didn't go over to the 150 hp 0-320 Lycoming until 1968.
The engine receives ram air through an intake in the lower front portion of the engine cowling. An air filter is placed at the intake end of the duct. This filter removes dirt, dust and foreign matter from entering the carburettor.
Examples include the engine cowlings, antennas, and the aerodynamic shape of other components.
Interference Drag comes from the intersection of airstreams that creates eddy currents, turbulence or restricts smooth airflows.
Rather than chasing the airspeed indicator, position the nose of the airplane (top of the engine cowling) just above the horizon and hold it there. Notice how the airspeed needle has quit moving up and down and has stabilized on one speed.
Cowl flaps. Shutter-like devices arranged around certain air-cooled engine cowlings, which may be opened or closed to regulate the flow of air around the engine.

Externally, the most noticeable difference between the 172 and the 175 is the slight hump on the engine cowl behind the propeller.
He checked the belly and wings fuel drains for water or ice than removed the engine cowling looking for a possible cause. All four cylinders were getting a spark, so he continued his trouble-shooting routines.
It includes the form drag and skin friction associated with the fuselage, cockpit, engine cowlings, rotor hub, landing gear, and tail boom to mention a few. Parasite drag increases with airspeed.
The landing light was moved from the wing to the engine cowl where vibration lowered landing-light bulb life. It was moved back to the wing in 1984.
