Coefficient of rolling friction during ground roll

LaTeX Go Coefficient of Rolling Friction = Rolling Resistance/(Weight-Lift)

Lift acting on aircraft during ground roll

LaTeX Go Lift = Weight-(Rolling Resistance/Coefficient of Rolling Friction)

Weight of aircraft during ground roll

LaTeX Go Weight = (Rolling Resistance/Coefficient of Rolling Friction)+Lift

Resistance force during ground roll

LaTeX Go Rolling Resistance = Coefficient of Rolling Friction*(Weight-Lift)

Maximum Lift coefficient for given stall velocity Formula

LaTeX Go

Maximum Lift Coefficient = 2*Weight/(Freestream Density*Reference Area*(Stall Velocity^2))
C_L,max = 2*W/(ρ_∞*S*(V_stall^2))

Does air density affect lift?

Lift and drag depend linearly on the density of the fluid. Halving the density halves the lift, halving the density halves the drag.
