Lift Force
Lift force, abbreviated as L, for an body moving through a fluid (gas or liquid) or air, is the force exerted perpendicular to the direction of travel.
Lift Force formulas
\(\large{ L = \frac{1}{2} \; C_l \; \rho \; v^2 \; A }\) | |
\(\large{ L = \frac{ C_l \; \rho \; v^2 \; A }{ 2 } }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ L }\) = lift force
\(\large{ A }\) = area
\(\large{ \rho }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density
\(\large{ C_l }\) = lift coefficient
\(\large{ v }\) = velocity
