News 7 30 To attain very high velocities in a practicable aircraft it is obvious that wave drag must be reduced to a minimum. 1951 D. O. Dommasch et al. Airplane Aerodynamics vi. 146 The various types of drag..are as follows: (1) form or pressure drag; (2) skin-friction drag; (3) induced drag; and (4) wave drag. 1981 C. E. Dole Flight Theory & Aerodynamics vii. 217 The heat rise behind the shock wave is either radiated to the atmosphere or absorbed by the wing surface,..and this lost energy must be continuously supplied by the engines. This energy loss represents a type of drag known as wave drag. < as lemmas |
