You’ll explore how drag impacts flight efficiency, the mathematical relationships behind it, and the ways pilots manage drag during different flight phases. You will also study the types of drag — induced, parasite, and total — and learn how each responds to changes in airspeed. By the end, you’ll know how to minimize drag when it hampers performance and leverage it when it supports safe aircraft operation, such as during approach and landing.

Drag is more than an obstacle; it is a critical factor in controlling an aircraft’s movement through the air. This course delves into its dual nature — as both a resistance to forward motion and a tool for safe maneuvering.
