What is lift?

A fluid flowing around an object exerts a force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction. It contrasts with the drag force, which is the component of the force parallel to the flow direction.

How to Calculate Lift given Lift Coefficient?

Lift given Lift Coefficient calculator uses Lift Force = Lift Coefficient*Dynamic Pressure to calculate the Lift Force, Lift given Lift Coefficient is a measure of the upward force exerted on an object by a flowing fluid, calculated by multiplying the lift coefficient by the dynamic pressure. Lift Force is denoted by F_L symbol.
