Drag Coefficient for given zero-lift drag coefficient

Go Drag Coefficient = Zero-Lift Drag Coefficient+((Lift Coefficient^2)/(pi*Oswald Efficiency Factor*Aspect Ratio of a Wing))

Drag Coefficient for given parasite drag coefficient

Go Drag Coefficient = Parasite Drag coefficient+((Lift Coefficient^2)/(pi*Oswald Efficiency Factor*Aspect Ratio of a Wing))

Coefficient of Drag due to lift

Go Coefficient of Drag due to Lift = (Lift Coefficient^2)/(pi*Oswald Efficiency Factor*Aspect Ratio of a Wing)

Parasite Drag Coefficient at zero lift

Go Zero-Lift Drag Coefficient = Drag Coefficient-Coefficient of Drag due to Lift
