An aircraft with elliptic wing planform has parasite drag coefficient as 0.6. Lift coefficient of wing is 0.25 and aspect ratio is 7.5. If induced drag co-efficient is 0.0235 then, find total drag coefficient for the wing.

Correct Answer: 0.06235
Given, parasite drag co-efficient = 0.6, induced drag coefficient = 0.0235 Total drag coefficient = Parasitic drag coefficient + induced drag coefficient = 0.6+0.0235 = 0.06235.
