Introduction

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.Through in-depth analysis and practical examples, you will develop the ability to identify, measure, and manage drag for optimal flight performance.

By the end of this course, you will have gained valuable insights into the mechanics of drag and its implications for various flight scenarios. Understanding these principles will empower you to make informed decisions that enhance safety and efficiency in aviation.
