Types of Drag

🚦Parasitic Drag, composed of Form drag,skin friction drag and interference drag

✈️Form Drag,

which is the result of the aerodynamic resistance to motion due to the shape of the aircraft,

...

✈️Skin Friction Drag,

which is due to the smoothness or roughness of the surfaces of the aircraft, and

...

✈️Interference Drag,

which may occur where surfaces with different characteristics meet (e.g. wing and fuselage)

...

🚦✈️Induced Drag,

which is a secondary effect of the production of lift,

...

🚦✈️Wave Drag,which comes into play when shock waves are developed close to the surface of the aircraft in transonic and supersonic flight.
