If you want to get the most out of your aircraft, or even if you are trying to decide what aircraft to buy, build, or perhaps are still designing, you can benefit from understanding something about Aerodynamic Drag and how it affects performance and cost.

While in early March 2000, the average US price was $2.12, at present it is $2.50 per gallon in quite a few states. Every increase makes it more important to know where your gas money is going. (See www.planeandpilotmag.com/content/frames/airnav.html for the scoop on prices.)

The Cost* of Your Airplane's Parasite Drag
(*as in what you pay at the pump)

As an airplane owner and pilot, perhaps you'd like to have a better understanding of your airplane's parasite drag. You pay for it, so you might as well know what you are paying for. Your airplane's total drag determines the horsepower required; a high-drag airplane wastes horsepower, and therefore wastes fuel and your fuel dollars.

This book looks into the causes and effects of your airplane's parasite drag.

  • What it is and where it is on your airplane.
  • What it does to your airplane's cruise speed.
  • What it may be costing you at the pump.

The book also looks into the double Safety Factor of reduced drag:

  1. Increased safety during take-off and climb-out, and
  2. Increased gliding time and distance during an emergency power-off glide.

As a special bonus, an extra Drag Reduction SUPPLEMENT is now enclosed with each book.

This book makes one thing clear:

Drag is your airplane's Number One enemy.
