[edit] Drag vs parasitic drag

How is this different from drag (physics)? Is it aviation specific? Fresheneesz 07:25, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Basically—this article has an aerodynamic focus. Axda0002 15:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] men in Drag

what about flow seperation? and how ths is created by viscosity which results in form drag? form drag would not come about were it not for viscosity, also there is no mention of lamina and terbulent flows and the lamina turbulent transition and reynolds number. and what exactly is intrference drag? is it the adverse efect of two bodies being close to each other resulting in greater drag than the sum of the parts? previously unsigned comment by 132.244.246.25

interference drag is defined in the article, it comes about because of vortecies in the air (I don't know what "two bodies" you're refering to). I'm not very familiar with this subject tho, but I'm sure if you ask your questions more clearly, they'd be more likely to be answered. Fresheneesz 06:50, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
