What is Ram drag?

The loss of thrust in a turbofan or turbojet engine that is caused by increasing the velocity of the air entering the engine. Ram drag is the difference between gross thrust and the net thrust.

How to Calculate Ram drag?

Ram drag calculator uses Ram Drag = Mass Flow Rate*Flight Speed to calculate the Ram Drag, Ram Drag is a measure of the aerodynamic force exerted on an aircraft due to the air it displaces, calculated by multiplying the mass flow rate of air and the speed of the aircraft. This calculation is essential in aerospace engineering to determine the overall drag force and optimize aircraft design for efficient flight. Ram Drag is denoted by D_ram symbol.

How to calculate Ram drag using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Ram drag, enter Mass Flow Rate (m_a) & Flight Speed (V) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Ram drag calculation can be explained with given input values -> 388.5 = 3.5*111.
