A couple of recently read articles described different sources for
induced drag. One attributed the drag to the wingtip vortices ... increased angle of attack created bigger vortices. Another said the drag was the result of the lift vector tilting backwards at higher angles of attack ... creating a rearward 'induced drag' resultant. I have heard the tip vortex explanation before ... the induced drag vector seems plausible ... does it have any merit. If induced drag is a result of both of these effects ... what is the relative weight of each? gracias' KK |
