Wave-making resistance or wave resistance is a form of drag that affects any object moving on a surface of a fluid, such as boats and ships moving on...

Parasitic drag, also known as profile drag,: 254 : 256  is a type of aerodynamic drag that acts on any object when the object is moving through a fluid...

waves formed at these zones of sonic flow cause a sudden increase in drag, called wave drag. To reduce the number and strength of these shock waves,...

aircraft drag is originated due to: Skin-friction drag due to shearing. The wave drag due to the thickness (or volume) or zero-lift wave drag Drag due to...

British English) is an airfoil designed primarily to delay the onset of wave drag in the transonic speed range. Supercritical airfoils are characterized...

pod positioned on the upper surface of a wing. Its purpose is to reduce wave drag while travelling at transonic speeds (Mach 0.8–1.0), which includes the...

extracted as work, and as a drag force on supersonic objects; shock waves are strongly irreversible processes. Shock waves can be: Normal At 90° (perpendicular)...

increase in drag from about Mach 0.8, and it is the fuel costs of the drag that typically limits the airspeed. Attempts to reduce wave drag can be seen...

which avoids the formation of N-type shock waves and thus does not create a sonic boom or the associated wave drag. However in its original form it does not...

The Sears–Haack body is the shape with the lowest theoretical wave drag in supersonic flow, for a slender solid body of revolution with a given body length...

creating relatively large waves, and thus a relatively large value of wave drag. Ship drag for a displacement hull increases smoothly with speed as hull speed...

A drag-reducing aerospike is a device (see nose cone design) used to reduce the forebody pressure aerodynamic drag of blunt bodies at supersonic speeds...

Lift-induced drag, induced drag, vortex drag, or sometimes drag due to lift, in aerodynamics, is an aerodynamic drag force that occurs whenever a moving...

aircraft as a whole as a large amount of additional drag, known as wave drag. It was the onset of wave drag that gives rise to the idea of a sound barrier...

above approximately Mach 1.2. The large increase in drag is caused by the formation of a shock wave on the upper surface of the airfoil, which can induce...
